Spend the money on the Akebono pads.\n\nI\u2019ve been around Napa an Carquest for my entire adult life and even the best from those brands DO NOT compare to the Akebono pads. You can get them from any parts retailer
For the record, my wife has a 2014 Honda Odyssey with 175,000km on it and she's had zero problems aside from normal stuff like changing her brakes and whatnot. That thing is a tank.
Change out the pads for ceramic pads like Akebono, they should be quieter and less brake dust.
Alright to offer some professional advice from someone who works on these for a living. The front brakes are 95% or more worn, it's a little unclear but at best there is about 1mm of brake pad left and new I believe the pads come at about 11mm.
Duralast gold is good but akebono is likely the OEM manufacturer. If you can find it, get it
Akebono ceramic is the best you can get for stock applications. Very low dust and made in usa. my LX gets Akebono pro act pads.
Pads look good but the rotors look like they have fine grooves in them. For a Honda I’d use centric rotors & akebono pads. You can’t go wrong with that combo.
First those rotors are torched. Get some new rotors. They ain't that expensive for the Corolla. Then get yourself some new pads, Akebono Pro Act. Grab some Powerstop ceramic break grease. Some Ac/Delco silicone brake lube. These 2 products are top notch. Forget permatex, mission, 3m, superlube all that bullshit. If your calipers aren't toasted \"ripped piston boots, rusted pistons or seized/ rusty caliper pins. Then get new calipers. The noise you're experiencing could be from not using anything on the back of the pads where the piston touches and the caliper touches. Ripped piston boots give the old screechy screech as well. Take that caliper bracket off the wheel and wire wheel it free of all dirt/rust paying particular attention to where the pad clips sit, you want those areas to be perfectly clean and square. Razzle it down with some brake clean then apply the powerstop grease to the pad clip seats then set the clips and install the bracket back onto the wheel. Next use some of that powerstop grease and paint the ears on the new pads so they slide nice and easy in the pad clips. You don't need much. Please don't use copper anti seize on the pad ears. Just the powerstop stuff. Next clean off those caliper pins, boots and bores. Make sure the face of the piston is free of rust and dirt. Get those bores and boots super clean. Then add the ac/delco silicone to the pins careful not to blob any on the tip face of the pin, that is important. The ac delco is a bit different than all silicone paste/ grease. Be careful with it and don't apply too much. Get a little delco in the boot baffles and squish it around to distribute it inside the boot. Then just put it all back together. Bleed the lines in the correct order and done. I promise your brakes won't make a peep for a long long time. Service them at every oil change to make sure everything is lubey loobed.
put Akebono pads on my 335is that I use for weekend/track car. Many have recommended them for their low brake dust. However, they’re missing that initial bite and since my car is pushing some power, it feels slippery when driving in the street if they haven’t been warmed up.
Don’t recommend Akebono because their ProACT pads are weaker than stock.
