Brake pads DIXCEL or OEM Honda
2019 Honda Civic LX 2.0 bought brand new and has 107,000 miles on it with original brakes. Rotors and pads. Not squeaking yet. Excellent!
Pros: not squeaking, excellent
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 172202 km
These new ceremic pads can last pretty long. My Honda has almost 70k miles and still plenty pads left.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 70000 km
personally i run dixcel z-type pads and a stock rotor with DOT4 fluid and its one of the best upgrade options IMO
Pros: best upgrade option
Two rotors=$100. Set of pads about $50. Couple wrenches, jack and jack stands.
Pros: easy to replace

Honda
All 10th gen civics do this.. 10th gen accord, and we've noticed it on some 11th gen civics, too... There was an updated pad that's supposed to help with it..
Pros: updated pad helps
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
These are the best double duty brake pad I have tested so far. I have tried stoptech 309 and EBC blue ndx which will start to fade around 4-5 laps at my local track. The dixcel pads I can not get them to fade at all. Pad life seems okay with mix use but street manners are abit worst than the stoptech and EBC (sometimes squeals and dust alot).
Pros: no fade, good for track
Cons: squeals, dusts a lot
For brakes, you're limited to whatever you can fit with your wheels.. I doubt you'd fit Brembo's with them, so you may be limited to 4pot/2pot or just rebuilding your current calipers with good street pads and rotors.
On my WRX, I use Dixcel ES pads front and rear
Pros: good street pads
Vehicle:
Subaru
I had rears replaced at 40k. At 60k now. I’ve always had a rumbling sound and vibration when breaking from 60-55 mph (around 57) since 40k.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: rumbling sound, vibration
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 60000 km
had a track day over the weekend and saw that a hard, black substance that seems a little rubbery had formed on the brakes. The brake pads are Dixcel ES brake pads. I had not bedded them in and instead street drove with it for a couple months as the website suggested. Brake grease was placed on the pad surface contacting caliper. The track has lots of left turns and I braked from 170+ kmh to 80kmh on the first corner. I'm pretty new so i may have braked deep as I was turning. The substance formed heavily on right front wheel, less on left front and none on rear. Brakes were smoking lightly when i came into the pits. Braking feel didn't change throughout the day as I continued lapping. Car still tracked straight. I tried not to brake too hard and didn't observe any other substance buildup.
Cons: brake smoking, substance buildup
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
