BRAKE PADS

Our broad brake portfolio is available in three distinct tiers: Silver (Good), Gold (Better) and OE (Best).

OE (Best):

  • GM Genuine Parts OE brake pads are specifically designed to work with GM vehicle safety systems, such as electronic traction control and anti-lock brakes, and have strict requirements for brake squeal noise.
  • The performance characteristics of these pads, such as pedal feel, stopping distance and noise, are designed and engineered to match GM’s OE product.

Gold (Better):

  • The high-quality alternative to OE and a smart choice for GM vehicles and most other makes and models.
  • Matches the OE design to ensure optimal performance and noise suppression.
  • Are independently tested (AMP3™) for NVH, durability and wear, and must comply with a rigorous quality approval process in order to be backed by GM.

Silver (Good):

  • The quality high-value option for GM vehicles and most other makes and models.
  • The pads follow essential OE designs that help reduce braking noise, vibration and harshness.
  • The pads undergo basic testing-effectiveness evaluation and must comply with rigorous quality standards.

BRAKE ROTORS

OE (Best):

  • Most GM Genuine OE rotors sold in the U.S. are Ferritic Nitro-Carburized. The FNC layer provides extra protection against corrosive threats from water, salt and even acid rain.
  • These rotors typically last two times longer than non-FNC rotors due to improved pad wear behavior.
  • And, while aftermarket brake parts are not required to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), GM Genuine OE brake rotors achieve those standards.

Gold (Better):

  • Are the high-quality alternative to OE parts and a smart choice for General Motors vehicles, as well as most other makes and models.
  • The entire rotor surface — including the edges and vanes — undergoes a COOL SHIELD™ coating process that adds a baked-on zinc coating for durability.
  • Follow the original manufacturer’s designs for dispersing heat, helping to prolong rotor life while reducing noise and vibration.
  • Must comply with a rigorous quality approval process in order to be backed by GM.

Silver (Good):

  • Remains a quality high-value option for GM vehicles and most other makes and models.
  • Has a brake plate thickness that matches OE specifications.
  • Must comply with a rigorous quality approval process in order to be backed by GM.
