Drivetec are GSF own brand. They aren’t particularly good, I prefer to use brands like pagid, Bosch etc as they are OE and much better quality.
My daughter had them fitted to her X3 for a while, they didn’t squeal but the discs warped really fast so they were changed out.
When they were replaced with a different brand they lasted until she sold the car.
I guess if they were free with the car and if you are doing the job yourself there’s no harm in fitting them, under normal uses they should perform okay and if your not happy you can swap them out again.
Hope this helps.

 

I always try to get Drivetec pads for my own cars, I find them good for normal driving.

 

My personal preferences are Febi Bilstein, Blue Print or Brembo. That being said, I've previously used Comline brake pads on a previous car of my Wife and they were absolutely fine. I once got a set of Borg and Beck rear pads as an 'Add on' for just £3 from Amazon for my Wife's Vitara. They lasted two years and were literally down to the metal plates when I swapped them out. Replaced with Brembo pads bought from Euro's.

I'm currently using Blue Print pads on the front of my 2015 Viva. They cost me 23 quid for the set. They've been on 3 years and covered just 12,500 miles and they haven't given me a single issue.

 

well i only mainly use for work short distance just long as they dont make any brake noise then thats good but if they do then i will get some decent pads instead

also never get napa pads my dad had them on is car and he hated them so i had to replace them with apec

ive noticed napa is bad quailty ive had napa drop links on my old kia i had they failed after 3 months so now for drop links i get febi

 

Febi is good 👍
Sadly the market is flooded with cheap crap these days.

 

In all this, we forgot to mention Ferodo who have been in the braking game for eons. I've fitted Ferodo discs and pads several times with no problems.

I often search eBay for genuine manufacturer old stock being flogged off by, in our case, VX dealerships. When I had my Saab 9-3, I picked up 3 or 4 sets of either front or rear pads, genuine GM, for as little as £15 delivered from dealerships. Same with discs, picked up 2 pairs of brand new genuine GM boxed discs for £30 each. I've currently got a set of Bendix premium front discs on my little Viva that cost £31 for the pair from GSF car parts. They are excellent. Shop around.

 

Thats also another way but be aware, believe it or not there’s actually fake branded brakes available! Always when buying online stock to sellers with a good reputation - for example vaux dealerships selling off old stock or sellers that have good, regular feedback
