Accord G8 2010 - Dejo un listado todo repuestos originales en Honda, algunos los compre sin factura y me bajaron un 20-30%, otros solo pedí precio y no los compre todavía. \-4 Pastillas originales Akebono - 330K
Right now I’m looking at getting the Akebono Proact pads. Fairly confident the pads are good cuz that’s the OEM brand to my understanding
Akebono Ceramic pads and EBC rotors (slotted if you're feelin frisky). EBC pads are fine too, but a lot of people experience noise. Akebono pads are just super solid and problem free.
All the time. I usually go for Akebono Pro Act pads, and name brand rotors like Raybestos, etc.
I buy everything parts related on there unless I need something the same day then I buy locally. I stick with Akebono brakes for all my cars and they’ve been good so far. For rotors I just go with a well known brand that has painted hats to avoid rusts.
I have Akebono ProACT in front and OE at the back. All good.
In my opinion, the best stock replacement brakes you can get are Akebono Pro ACT ceramic pads and Advics rotors.
I went with the akebono pads with Zimmerman coated rotors (semi floating) from FCP on my 17’ 340i with msport/ track handling package. so far so good with the pads. Very little dusting compared to the original ones. Only issue I ran into is the coated rotors and the bed in on the pads. I had to get them resurfaced at an auto shop since they had some extra runout.
Is it a reasonable price? No not really. Can you just do it at home in the driveway? If you have a driveway, and it's nice if you have someone around who's done it before who can remind you to do things like properly torque the bolts instead of just "by feel" if you're new to this, or add a little anti-seize on the hub so you can get it off in 5 years, without giving you silly quirky advice like a lot of YouTubers like to do to try and make themselves slightly different. What _should_ you do? My suggestion is call a few local shops (even Ford dealerships if you want). Tell them you've got some rotors and pads (order some standard ones off of Rock Auto) and ask what they would charge to install it. Call 5 places, ignore the most and least expensive ones, and if the remainders pick the one you like the look of (check online reviews, see how long they've been in business, etc). Every mechanic has been changing brakes since they were 12, but you want one who looks like they care about their work. A good mechanic with a 2 post lift should be able to do a Mustang brake job in like 20 minutes if they tried to. They'll actually take about an hour and be careful about it. They'll charge you some "standard" hours regardless of clock time because they need to pay for their shop etc. It's cheaper to do it yourself, but not everyone _wants_ to do it themselves, or trusts themselves to learn something from YouTube videos that their life depends on every day.
It’s the pads. I paid my dealer to change my pads out to Akebono because the dust and noise was so bad. I get that it’s a performance car but good lord it was miserable for a daily driver.
