Brake discs OEM Honda or Duralast
Since enrolling in the daily death-race a year ago, I've: Replaced the Serp. Belt and idler, adjusted the valves, changed CVT oil and its filter a couple times, swapped O2 and Mass airflow sensors, replaced front brake rotors and pads, upgraded headlamps and added an Acura switched light for the rear so I can turn it off and leave the hatch open. I've got the set of drums and pads for the back waiting for a good day - that should fix whatever caused the parking brake to seize until I stopped setting it last winter.
Pros: easy repairs, good performance
Cons: parking brake seized
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 180000 km
Dynamic Friction makes a good geomet-coated rotor that is excellent for what they cost.
Pros: excellent for the cost
Dynamic Friction are great with ceramic pads, only complaint is cosmetic, they do not coat the rotors so after some rain the inside hub of the rotors starts to rust. Purely cosmetic, great rotors! I drive them fast regularly and they perform better than OEM
Pros: better than OEM, great performance
Cons: cosmetic rust
when I did the brakes on my ‘17 GTI about 20k miles ago I used Duralast Gold rotors and pads from AutoZone. Low dust, low noise, stop fine and the rotor hubs are coated so they don’t rust in five minutes. They’ve been perfectly cromulent.
Pros: low dust, low noise, stop fine
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
Buy Honda ones from the Honda dealership
Pros: recommended
I use Duralast Gold rotors on my two endurance race cars - they are great. I wouldn't expect the basic ones to be anything special, but they should work just fine.
Pros: great for endurance racing
My '21 brakes started shaking around 20K miles as well. I installed Dynamic Friction coated rotors and ceramic pads from Rockauto. They have lasted longer than the stock OEM brakes with similar performance.
Pros: Longer lasting, similar performance
Cons: Shaking brakes
Vehicle:
Toyota Highlander
Mileage: 20000 km
For instance, on my Honda Fit, I went aftermarket on the brake rotors because the factory ones had a habit of warping with my driving.
Pros: upgraded part
Cons: factory ones warping
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
OEM rotors were badly warped within the first year and Honda refused to warranty because they were “still in spec”. Of all OEM Honda parts, I think their brake rotors are one of the worst quality I have experienced.
Cons: badly warped, worst quality
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Why are Honda original equipment rotors such garbage?
Cons: poor quality, garbage
