2009 LNF sedan Brembo Brakes, Pads
Just curious what pads out there is everyone using for the brembos, and whether searching through oriellys, napa,autozone is all accurate as far as pads for the SS or not. Any help or direction is appreciated.

OEM is typically AC Delco, however with the Brembo package you'll need high end metallics or ceramic.
Some swear by R1 or Hawk Performance though. It honestly doesn't matter as long as you recognize the name brand, and it's one of the above types of pad.

Working for the ACDelco division of GM I would like to mention they changed their name and logo in 1995 from AC Delco to ACDelco. Spent several million just testing the new name and logo before making the change. ACDelco then developed the Durastop line to cover all makes / vehicles and it turned out so well GM adopted it as their OEM brake friction material. Not raggin, just sayin :-)

Another great option is a StopTech brake package. I've only ever used OE stuff for my Cobalts but decided to give their stuff a try and I've been extremely satisfied for DD purposes. I've had to get on them real hard a few times and zero issue, no warping etc.
Good luck man!

I find it best to go to somewhere like https://www.thatgmpartsguy.com/sitemap and find OEM part numbers for cross referencing. this way you know 100% you're getting the OEM part (or equivalent replacement). For brakes, I personally am going OEM as I've stretched my pads out for 40k miles and they're still going. replaced at the dealer that the PO bought it from at 82k. I'm at 126k now. The rotors are toast though and starting to make noise with the rust lip against the pad edge but they're still stopping the car and the chirpers aren't squealing yet. I have a full front OEM set with new pin kit ready to go on. just need to buy rears before I do it.
