Brake Rotors ?

[fliesitdies]

Looking for recommendations. I have a 2007, 2500,Chevy classic Duramax. I need new Rear brakes and rotors. Should I stay with OEM or is there aftermarket parts I should look at.
Thanks in advance.

My son now drives my 07 duramax.  I always ran OEM parts.  I tugged trailers of all sizes and been told repeatedly that my foot was to heavy.  I didn't change any brakes until after 100,000 miles on it.  I was glad to keep it in the family.  I  now run a 2017  3500 MAX and still  get told my foot is heavy.  "NO RESPECT-NO RESPECT "

No since rear brakes is roughly 30% of your braking force. If your not doing max tow weight and constantly going up and down hills with said weight then there’s no real purpose to going aftermarket or upgrades.

My 06 LBZ had 220,000 miles on the original brakes with life left when I changed them out. I went back with OEM calipers pads and rotors.  They will outlast me. These trucks are known for brake component longevity. I shopped around. Some parts came from Amazon. Some from carid and some from Rockauto. Just depending who was cheapest including shipping. Shop the AC Delco vs GM parts numbers. AC delco  is usually cheaper but not always. They are the exact same parts.

The only thing I upgraded was the hydroboost. I went to 2011 fir better braking.

Just reread your post. Pretty odd you need new rears before fronts. Unless fronts were already done.

My front breaks and rotors are new. I don't do a lot of towing but when I do it's horse's and tractors. So I don't mind stepping up to a better aftermarket product if it makes sense. OEM is fine as well.
Thanks for all your advice.

If that’s all you’re towing I wouldn’t worry about upgrading. I’d stick with GM or AC delco

There is not a better aftermarket upgrade for those trucks.

Akebono is a great car or small suv pad but not for a big truck.

I am an outside sales rep for a private wholesale auto parts company. We have really good luck with Powerstop rotors and z36 series pads for big pickups. You can find them online from many places for good prices. You won't be disappointed.

Powerstop rotors with their Z36 pads do great on my F350.
