Pls which is the best brand of break-pad, I changed mine a month ago and since then it's been 1 funny noise or the other. I went to a different mechanic and he told me to use Toyota break-pads that they are noiseless, what I am currently using is Yamasida(I hope I got d spellings correct).

Please RUN away from that thing they call Toyota brake pads. it is very fake.

I bought the du-craft ceramic front brake pad in June 2018. The brakes didnt last up to 4500 miles. dusts on the wheels every time.
It pains me that they are marketing a glamorous fake ceramic pad with claims of 30000 miles! I paid 12k for the rubbish.
Please stay away from Du-craft Brakes

You might ve been sold the imitation, paraded as the genuine (common practice in this part of the world).Genuine Brake pads should last a while.You might want to check your brake(rotor) disc too,just in case.

Which brand of breakpad is the best one can get in Nigeria?

Is Du-Craft breakpad a good brand for people that have used it because I thinking of changing mine very soon.

Carquest brake pads have lifetime warranties in the USA but we are starting with one year here to see how it goes.

Baba U forgot to add they are expensive plus the tittle of this thread should be *How often you check your Brake Pads *

Not that expensive especially when you consider that they last years.

Cheapest brake pads below $20 should last 3 years and you will have brake dust. The medium below $30 should last 5 years and premium should last 8 years
