Brake pads Bosch or OEM Honda
Looking at the choices available for yours, good pads that won't break a budget I'd go with Bosch QuietCast.
Impressively even wear. Got every bit of life out of that set.
I've got the Bosch on my Ghost and completely agree. It's an amazing setup. I've got 8000km on mine and it rides like new whenever I change the pads and lube it. I look forward to my commute every day.
ATE OEM size Front (288x25) & Rear (232x9) Brake Discs Bosch Quietcast front & rear brake pads
I'm running bosch quietcast ones on mine. They were on rock auto for like $70 shipped for both front and rear. They are ceramic
Decided to pull the wheel, and found a TRW stamp on the caliper, so it's been ID'd. Anyone need a set of Bosch BC1456 pads for the Bosch calipers?
There’s a rotor and pad combo I’ve used on our allroad 6MT, Escalade ESV & 07 Beetle Vert 3x White. Through trial & error we discovered the only way to keep the under braked 3T Escalade rotors from warping due to pad material buildup was to go countersunk gas slotted & x drilled rotors. They were added to the other vehicles because we found Bosch ceramic pads and the hot galvanized rotors will NOT rust. The Beetle has been running the same pads and rotors since ‘14. They’re silent, don’t leave dust and have amazing pedal feel when cold or hot. They also look new because they don’t rust. The last and unexpected benefit of these rotors is that they don’t fade from heat or water saturation.
Usually for pads though I go with Bosch ceramic for my cars and Bosch semi metallic for my trucks. I have never had an issues and get great life from my pads.
The brakes were so-so, and it had lots of torque steer, and benefited greatly from an aftermarket and much stiffer rear ARB, which improved its turn in and corner habits tremendously.
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.
