Hi,
Have 33k on the car; I'll be needing front pads for the Brembos someday so figured I'd buy pads at least now while they're still available.

I come up with part nos. P23182 and 19427947 depending on which seller I look at.
Will anyone confirm these numbers as correct?
Or have another option with part no.?

Thanks,
chevy2

 

Don't know offhand on the GM number, but P23182 should be correct(used once before). There is apparently 2 versions, the P23182 Metallic and P23182N Ceramic, at least on RockAuto. Dunno on the ceramic as I had used the metallic.

 

Excellent!
Thanks for your confirm, VERY much appreciated!

 

the front AND rear pads are simply reboxed for GM;
I believe the the OE fronts are Brembo (?sp)Ferdero pads;
I believe that the rears were a semi-metallic;
You can buy them as both Brembo parts, there is something of an interchange now which didn't exist (afaik) when these cars were new.
I would strongly advise against buying generic, or non OE-GM parts - they all suck.

Fronts:
GM #25808929
Delco #171-1012
Brembo #07.8954.50 (number taken off pad repackaged in GM box)
Brembo #P_23_182 (semi-metallic alternative)

Rear:
GM #15271565
Delco #171-0953
Brembo #P59042 (the box may have an 'N' suffix in the part number)
Brembo #P_59_042 (semi-metallic alternative)

I have OE's and Brembo aftermarket pads in my garage should you want pictures.

The rear caliper sliders, and cables are really the biggest problems with these... unless you are unfortunate enough to have stuck front pins... then you're up crap-creek.

You can find something of an interchange if you play around on Rockauto.

 

Thanks, soundjunky!
Really nice to see some guys continue to stop by & spread some help & cheer.

 

I'm always happy to help!

I love these brakes, but cheaping can really bite you in the butt.

I may have found a suitable non-GM front rotor (I'd have to check the box tops and my notes in the garage; I think our sedan has been running aftermarket rotors) but to be safe, I am only recommending OE rotors right now... which sucks, because they are not cheap!

 

Rotor info would be helpful, if not much trouble for you.
Quite a few outfits still carry the ceramic pads, so I think that's the ticket.
Apparently, ceramics are easier on the rotors over the long haul.

I have a note from years back from reading that the Autozone Duralast preimium house brand pads work well,
so maybe their rotors would be OK, also.

 

No problem, I'll zip out to the garage later to get part numbers.

I wouldn't buy AZ parts.
But that's just me.
Even Delco's (GM in house brand) premium line of parts are utter garbage...

My experience is that cheaping out causes warped rotors - and that gets old really fast.

 

Duly noted.
I think I dodged a bullet with the rears; I read of some guys on here with dry pins & OEM pads scoring the rotors,
and though I didn't note that problem on my car, (for the rears) I swapped in Hawk ceramic pads at ~ 9.000 miles.

 

my terminology might not always be correct, but to me:
rears use sliders;
fronts use pins.

The rear sliders can dry out, and between added friction on the sliders, and sticking brake cables, this leaves tension on the inner pads - and causes them to drag.

I will check pad wear once in a while to see what sort of life is left (for both front and rear; it's really easy to do during seasonal tire/wheel change overs), or if something needs attention.

Here are some numbers for rotors:

Fronts:
GM #25994100
Delco #177-1056

Rear:
GM #15921402
Delco #177-1057

I have tried a myriad of different rotors and pads on my coupe, but I now only install OEM or Brembo boxed parts on that car.
I digress that it's possible I am confusing some parts which netted poor results on the coupe - my earlier post about Delco Professional might have been about Raybestos "red box"...
In the not so distant past the Raybestos 'red box' parts used to be the 'Delco Professional' - the Raybestos parts were simply placed in a Delco box(!) with markup;
But for this particular application, I'd stay far away from Raybestos anything.

I continue to try aftermarket parts on the sedan;
To that extent I currently have "famous brand" (box states "Autopart International") rear rotors, "Delco Professional" front rotors, and "Centric" front pads, with rear pads which I've forgotten the brand name...
On the sedan, I am occasionally feeling slight front rotor warping, but for thee most part, it seems to be fine...

My takeaway from both cars at this point is that the front rotors are the most temperamental part;
The rears are less temperamental, but require a little more attention.

All that being said, if you really value your car, buy OE parts.

 

Thanks for the p/n & additional notes!
