Brake pads Centric or OEM Honda
Centric tactical police pads and wagner wave rotors. Best combo I've ever used. Used them on the race track \ud83d\udc4d
Pros: best combo ever
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.
Pros: zero problems
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Mileage: 175000 km
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.
Pros: professional advice
Cons: brakes are worn
Vehicle:
Honda
Rev matching is better for the brake pads... and it sounds cool lol. Same reason I rev match downshift in my Honda Civic.
Pros: better for the brake pads
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Funny but I gave the Centric brand ceramic pads a shot and did not see any difference with Akebono. Same bute, no dust, no esting rotors. Been about 5 weeks now and abiut 1000 miles. No issues
Pros: same bite, no dust
Cons: no difference with Akebono
Mileage: 1000 km
Put in some aftermarket front brake pads too.

I had aftermarket front brakes installed by a local mechanic for around $300. They ended up squeaking constantly and just didn’t feel right. I eventually had them redone with genuine Honda brakes at the dealership — it cost me $575, but the difference was night and day. No noise, smooth feel, and it came with a 12-month warranty.
Pros: no noise, smooth feel
Cons: squeaking constantly
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
The MK7 R community seems to like Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Though I had a love-hate relationship on them. Centric claims no bedding was necessary... so, I listened to them and found the lack of braking dangerous. Then, one late night, on an empty highway, I bedded them in with about 10, 70-5 mph medium to hard slow downs, got the rotors heated up and brake pads smelling... then drove on the highway for about half hour, then turned around and went home and let the brakes completely cool. Then I loved the brakes.
Pros: loved the brakes
Cons: lack of braking dangerous

Volkswagen Golf
I have a Honda Pilot and it needed brake pads at 65k miles. The mechanic told me he replaces pads on Chevy Silverados at 25k miles.
Vehicle:
Honda Pilot
Mileage: 65000 km
my 08 Accord went through rear pads every 18-20K miles. They were way too soft.
Cons: too soft, short life
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 19000 km
