Brake pads Hella Pagid or OEM Honda
I put in Hella pagid. They are fantastic
I have Pagid RSL29 pads and ATE 200 fluid on Hankook RS4s -- I don't worry too much about brake fade unless it's peak Texas summer heat, in which case I'm managing engine and tire temperature with cool down laps anyway.
I had Pagid RS29s on my street driven but not daily driven car. They were great on track but holy shit the amount of noise they made on the street was almost agonizing. And the dust…. But for the feel they have on the track I would definitely buy again.
Impressively even wear. Got every bit of life out of that set.
Brakes and rotors are kinda easy.
Honestly the OEM pads are fantastic in this car, I’ve been told by the guy that runs the xgen autocross page that the oem ones are fine for most street and autocross applications.
Pagid RS29 are what I always used to run on my Cayman, and I loved them. Now I run Ferodo DS1.11 on my STI, and I'm a big fan of them too, but I'd still probably go back to Pagids if I went back to Porsche.
Seeing what looks like a Prelude wheel, why not just get the OEM honda brake pads? They are acceptable for most daily use, and the brake dust isn't to terrible to deal with
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.
