Bosch rotors with akebono pads. Works great on my 2nd gen. Seen this pair on the tundra forum raved about. The pads especially. I daily my truck and don't notice brake noises. Live in the rust belt and had to beat the pads out of the calipers when I did it..
I've had good luck with Akebono ceramic pads and whatever rotors RockAuto has on sale that aren't the cheapest option. Stay away from those super budget pads from unknown brands - learned that lesson the hard way when they turned to dust after like 6 months
Akebono makes great pads you really don't need factory parts when it comes to brakes. Honda factory rotors are notoriously prone to warping for innumerable reasons.
Akebono
Akebono pads and Zimmerman rotors are the tried and true replacement brakes.
I replaced the rear brakes on my 24 rockcreek and had to buy a scan tool to release the electronic e brake and have it retract all the way in to get the new brakes on. The brand was autel i believe. It was around 400+$. Also had to register as a technician on it with a subscription for 60$ a year. It’s a pretty kickass scanner though but paying all that extra money sucks but I think in the long run it’s still cheaper that paying 400$ at the dealership every 20k miles to get the rear brakes replaced. Also you can pick your own brake pads and go for ceramic brakes. I use akebono brake pads. They don’t need to be broken in and last over twice as long and are extremely quiet. Best brake pads I’ve ever used. But around 90$ for A set though, not cheap for sure.
I think Akebono is the way to go
I had an 850R. It was great. However, two issues: the brakes were shit when they are hot (scarily so: I had a real squeaky bum moment when I tried to brake for a roundabout when I had be driving in an, er, *spirited* fashion*.* I mentioned this to a traffic cop and he said they always upgraded the brakes on 850s). However, unless you drive like a lunatic, I wouldn't have thought this was a major issue.
At the moment i drive a 2014 volvo v60 it brakes for me when going under 30 mph and something comes in front of me and I brake (too) late has lots of dings and dongs imho as I used to mainly drive pre 2006 and pre 2000 cars.
Just had new brakes put on my Volvo XC90 a few weeks ago (400 miles ago). They make a loud low pitch squeak when braking lightly. It’s terrible. These were installed by my Volvo dealer. Dealer says that’s just how it is. But I can’t imagine someone buying a new car with new brakes and having to deal with the same thing. Response from the dealer was “that’s just how it is”. Same response I got when I raised concerns about the cabin noise and weak AC.
