I would recommend Akibono… very high quality brake pads!!!
Yep....I don't like it, but that's how mine were received as well. I've never seen such poorly packaged brake pads which can leave a bad initial first impression, but the pads work fine.
"warped rotors" often mean pad deposits on the rotor surface. Maybe look to the pads for a fix this time. I've done well with high performance ceramic pads from Akebono
Instead of replacing my brakes and rotors with OEM, I went with Akebonos (ceramic brake pads) and it’s shocking how much bite there is. Like I have to raise up my brake pedal at every red light or else I lurch forward. Also did a brake fluid flush.
If you want comfort, use an OE supplier (TRW, Textar, pagid), if you want more performance at the cost of some added noise/dust, Ferodo/hawk/EBC
When I bought one of my cars used I immediately noticee the brakes felt horrible. As in they didnt feel like they wanted to stop. Its almost like when your slowing down and coming up on the car infront you expect your car to slow down faster than it is right now. So you oush down harder and harder and you get maybe 10% more braking. Yeah. Swapped those pads out for some street performance pads. Night and day difference. The brakes actually work now. Good initial bite and good modulation.
Tire Rack has Akebono pads and wear sensors for Brembo caliper Q5's
I would look at pads. Akebono which are a low dust pad act like what you are experiancing. Not a lot of inital bite. Which I like.
Las Akebono (Japon) que llevan mi Honda valen 180K y las considero caras
Si tu Cronos es automatico me fijaria de ponerle algo bueno, como siempre hacen fuerza cuando frenas en Drive, las pastillas pedorras suenan un montón. Yo tenia Cobrec y las vole a la mierda por eso, puse las OEM y chau problema. Pero me hablaron bien de las LPR y Raybestos.
I would stay away from ceramic Akebonos. Out of all ceramic pads I tried, they felt the most dangerous. They had close to zero initial bite and required three times the leg effort to brake.
