Brake pads Bendix or OEM Honda
Wanted brakes for the same car? Ordered Bendix. Bendix has been Ford's brake OEM for decades now.
Pros: Ford's brake OEM
Vehicle:
Ford
I use Bendix ultra premium /ceramic pads and I've been quite happy with them
Pros: quite happy
Vehicle:
Nissan
I replaced REAR pads and rotors myself at the end of June of 2017 when I was at 54,000 miles. I used Bendix Ceramic Pads / D1348: https://www.carid.com/bendix/cq-ceramic-rear-disc-brake-pads-mpn-d1348.html These should fit your CC as well (they fit 2.0T and VR6 )They run very clean - like no dust, like the original factory pads did (maybe cleaner). I also opted for oem style rear rotors. Nothing fancy, no slots or drilled holes. The originals didn't have these features and I found them totally serviceable without them. If you buy aftermarket standard style rotors, just be sure that they match the specs of the original factory ones. For my car, the VR6 has rear vented rotors (the 2.0T has solid unvented). I confirmed the vane count and the rotor thickness matched the originals when they were new and then made a decision. I think the rotors I got online were duralast? I can't quite recall. Anyhow, I'm sure I'll be shamed for not going to the VW parts counter for VAG branded parts. But with that said, I have over 2500 miles on since then and the car stops beautifully with zero pedal pulsation. All-in, with a tube of compatible brake grease, I think I was at about $115 in parts and 2.5 hours of my labor.
Pros: run very clean, no dust, stops beautifully
Cons: rotor brand uncertain
Mileage: 54000 km
Part number: D1348
2000 Honda Oddyssey
High mileage but runs good, small dent on driver's quarter panel. Rebuilt trans, shifts good, engine runs great just had valves done. A/C doesn;'t work probaly needs freon. 3.5l v6 automatic. Aftermarket radio HAS AUX JACK. New headlight lenses, new intake tube, new break pads
Pros: new break pads
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
I put some Bendix organic/ceramic pads on my S-10 way back in the day, and the dust was much more manageable. The dust is a lighter color so it's not nearly as obvious. My current car (G35 Coupe) has ceramic pads, and I can tell a big difference compared to my friends' cars. Brake dust always come back slower on my car.
Pros: manageable dust, less obvious
Vehicle:
Infiniti G
I got about 107,000 on my 06 and haven't needed to change the rotors yet. I just use Bendix Ceramic pads front and rear, we have always used Bendix stuff and never had any issues.
Pros: long lasting, no issues
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 107000 km
I changed pads twice, tires once, and nothing else aside from wipers and filters.
Pros: practically maintenance free
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 152000 km
My buddy's Honda ELF seized a caliper on the way down a mountain. By the time we found a place to pull over, the pad material had caught fire. That was exciting.
Pros: pad material caught fire
Cons: caliper seized
Vehicle:
Honda
If there's a sore point on the Si, it's the brakes. It's that initial application is far too touchy, making smooth heel-and-toeing difficult especially when only light brake application is required. That abruptness proves annoying even in hard use, and the slightly spongy pedal feel doesn't help matters.
Cons: touchy, spongy pedal
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
When I had my Honda, a freak incident occured involving pads. I was coming up to a red light and I just heard a "thunk" and next thing I know, I had little to no-brake power. Took the wheel and caliper off, and somehow the outer pad had completley vanished....no joke, gone, nothing left, not even a shred of metal.
Cons: outer pad vanished
Vehicle:
Honda
