Best brake hardware?

[Wufei]

Hey guys,

Changing the pads and noticed the shims and caliper bolt/pins look a bit shot. Planning to replace them and am wondering if there's any difference between Pep Boys ones or BrakeBest, Wagner, and Beck/Arnley ones?

Thanks!
Luke

On brake hardware...some advice there is a difference on the brand, I wouldn't go cheap, just saying. I would know because I have work at autoparts stores for years now and know what is GOLD and what is SH*T....brakebest is what we offer at O'reilly's autoparts and it is o.k. But there is perks to being on the another side of the counter with unlimited resources All day! Walk into one and ask to speak to an "import specialist" with KNOWLEDGE and ask him/her for hardware with "IMC". You will find anything that you can think of and more...from carbon ceramic rotors to the hard to get stuff....I personally go with "Wagner" and "Sanyo" because of the quality you get from them at a reasonable price...Anything else is plain Jane and will hold up for some much until it gives! ....

Thanks 96! Just the kind of info I'm looking for

Reason I ask is I plan to do canyon runs and maybe the occasional track day, so the last thing I want to worry about is my brakes
