Default Re: Brake pads for my Envoy, I need suggestions.

I was kinda thinking about these for the front.
The backs are like new, and they don't make noise, so I probably won't mess with them at all.
Since I got the rotors turned, I can hear the right front doing a little whining.
Rather than letting them hog up the rotors, I might as well change them now, I was thinking.

You don't have to bleed the breaks...just compress the piston on the caliper with a c-clamp...U might have a little break fluid come out of the top of your break fluid res but you can top it off when done...very easy and you save a bunch of coin.

I would buy the duralast DG182 for $38.99

I was reading and the guys get all excited about backing up caliper fluid into the abs system cause it can screw them up?
I'm not scared, but I'd just as soon beeed when I compress the calipers and just top off the fluid.
Make any sense?

Not sure why it would screw anything up...it's just fluid...I would go c-clamp, $40 pads, and spend the other $260 on cigars.

I'm gonna go that way, c-clamp wise, but I'm gonna spend a little more money for pads that won't eat my rotors.
