Does the brand of brake pads matter?
The Brand Name Matters Less Than the Type

How long does EBC brakes last?

EBC sport grooved rotors can be turned with good results on standard AAMCO brake lathes. If too badly scored or worn some rotors will have to be replaced. New pads will always be needed.

Do new brakes need to be broken?
Anytime you install new brake rotors, brake pads, or both, it's advantageous to bed in your new brakes. Bedding in your brakes is just an industry term to explain breaking in your new brakes. ... Slightly more aggressive than normal braking. You don't need to come to a complete stop for each pass.
How much does it cost to have your brakes and rotors replaced?
How much should it be to replace the brake pads and rotors? Expect a brake job of replacing brake pads and rotors to cost $250-$400 per axle on average. If you drive a heavy-duty pickup truck and haul or tow a lot, your costs may go up quite a built.
What type of brake pads are best ceramic or metallic?
Ceramic brake pads typically last longer than semi-metallic brake pads, and through their lifespan, provide better noise control and less wear-and-tear to rotors, without sacrificing braking performance.
Does it matter what rotors you buy?
Unfortunately, there's no way to judge the quality of a rotor by its appearance alone. An economy rotor may appear to be nearly identical to a premium-quality rotor, but the metallurgy is often far different. There are many different grades of cast iron, and some make much better brake rotors than others.
