I will say - go ahead and get the Honda OEM filter. It is a nice, lightly oiled unit that seems to filter really well.
Pros: filters really well, lightly oiled

Really missed the manual so got the Si. Best feeling of them all.
Pros: best feeling
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
This Si has, by a long shot, the smoothest, and most forgiving manual transmission I've ever driven (including a few dozen work vehicles and test drives). Just limit the amount of time you spend slipping the clutch getting into first, and it should last you a very long time. With some practice, you can get to the point where you don't slip the clutch at all going up through the gears. It's not a bad car to learn on at all.
Pros: smoothest, most forgiving, long lasting

I have the Falken Sincera SN250 A/S and looking on Tire Rack, they seem to be a direct upgrade to your Laufenns for about $10 more each. Might be worth a try. I've found them to be quiet and absorbing of bumps and road weirdness. Also lightweight feeling.
Pros: quiet, absorbs bumps, lightweight

Power Stop Z23 pads and Z17 Geomet rotors. It’s like a whole new car - I know that may sound weird but it really drives better, I’m hyper aware of my car and the ride is smoother. I did it at 69k miles, and I wish I had done it earlier.
Pros: drives better, smoother ride

Mileage: 69000 km
I recently put Hawk Performance Ceramics (yellow box) on my FL5 for daily driving to combat the insane amount of brake dust that OEM pads have. So far they feel really good! They seem to have an initial bite that is a little more aggressive than the OEM pads, but still have good modulation. FWIW I live in the south and I haven't yet driven them in cold temps. I've read that ceramics can have a weaker initial bite when temps are near freezing but I haven't had a chance to evaluate that.
Pros: reduced brake dust, good initial bite, good modulation
Cons: potential weaker bite in cold
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
On the factory pads you'll see around 55-60k on the original Akebonos.
Pros: predictable mileage

I’ve been waiting for an AC compressor since April and every month the date got pushed back more. I called various dealers they didn’t have it one of the dealers told me the order has been back ordered for 6 months already. I had an extended warranty and they replaced with an aftermarket part. A denso as well. Took 3 months to get my car back from the dealer. They also charged 6k for complete unit. Mind you my pilot is a 2020 with only 26k miles.
Cons: long wait time, high cost
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
Mileage: 26000 km
I put Falken Ziex (65k) on a Honda Civic 10th Gen. didn’t even make it to 40k. Never again. Rotated every oil change (5k). I know the heat had something to do with it (Florida) but the streets here are smooth as butter.
Pros: smooth streets
Cons: did not last

Mileage: 64373 km
