OEM Honda › Brake pads

For years my brakes on my CRV squeaked. My dad replaced them. A few other people/shops worked on them. Still squeaked. I'm talking YEEEAAAARRRRRS. I resigned myself to being *that person* at every friggin stop light. Needed new brakes again. Unique situation as it was, the Honda dealership ended up doing it. It was like $500 but they stopped squeaking!!!! It was heavenly to be a silent stopper.

Pros: stopped squeaking

Cons: brakes squeaked for years

Vehicle: Honda

Can’t say anything bad about the Hawk brake pads. I have HPD 5.0’s and they stop great and dust very little.

Pros: stops great, little dust

I am currently running EBC Yellowstuffs that i installed last winter and i have now gone 10k km and they have 2-3mm of pad left on the front. I really really like their performance and don’t really mind the wear.

Pros: good performance, durable

Cons: moderate wear

Mileage: 10000 km

I aswell have an evo 9 with the same tires and similar weight. I run hawk dtc 70s in the front and dtc 60s in the rear. If you do not mind swapping pads before the events I love these pads. They will make a lot of noise driving around town tho. I get about 8 to 10 days out of a set of front pads and about 2 to 3 seasons out of a set of rears.

Pros: long lasting

Cons: noisy

Vehicle: Mitsubishi Lancer

I have hawk dtc-60. They are cheaper than most race pads, but not super long lasting. No problems with them on the street. They dust like crazy though and the you don't want to leave the dust on wheels you care about. Make sure you wash the wheels when you get home from track.

Pros: cheap, no street problems

Cons: dusts a lot, not long lasting

Vehicle: Chevrolet Corvette C5

I run pagid rsl29 (yellow) and i have been a big fan -- but it seems like you either love them or hate them, no in between.I still have over 75% brake pad left after 11 days on track-- with that said, factory brake cooling is pretty good on my car's front brakes (M2 Competition). I think most folks whom have issues have inadequate cooling which leads to very high temps, which the rsl29 do not like

Pros: long lasting

Cons: high temps

Vehicle: BMW M2

I have a ~375whp WRX about the same weight as your car and am running Carbotech XP10 / G-loc R10 (they're the same pads) and have had no fade.When I installed my front bbk I ran the Stoptech sport pads and they were not enough, swapped to the R10s and had zero brake issues all day.

Pros: no fade, zero brake issues

Noise:

I did the Yellowstuff pads and ebc rotors on the back of my ‘17 RS. The one spring on the drivers side didn’t seat properly at first and squealed until I disassembled it and put it in properly.

Cons: squealing

Same! This was after they quoted me over the phone that it would be $800. Fuck the dealership. Try to find you a good, honest mechanic. When you do, hold on to them tight and never let go.

Ended up paying $1,600 for all 4 pads and rotors on my 2016 STI.

Cons: expensive

Vehicle: Subaru
