Replace Brake pads front P2000

I've done about 4000 miles on it this year and it's really grown on me. It's comfortable enough, the brakes are really good, the abs isn't overly intrusive. The handling is decent, the geometry is definitely more about stability than agility.
Pros: comfortable, good brakes
Cons: stability over agility
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 6437 km
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
Put in some aftermarket front brake pads too.

I've got mintex in mine at the moment and they're not too bad, they weren't very expensive but they seem to do the job
Pros: inexpensive, does the job
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.

I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.
Cons: not impressed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
when i bought my girling 60 setup the seller threw in a set of mintex red box pads.....i hate them. i was never impressed with the red box's in other cars but on my setup they squealed like crazy when i was off the brakes. i too had the issue with the pads overhanging into the center of the rotor but i took a rolox disc on a die grinder and took a little off the inner portion of the pads. even after doing that they still squeal. plus theyre a real dirty pad and after about 10k miles i only have about 50% pad life left.
Pros: none
Cons: squealed, dirty, wore fast
Mileage: 10000 km
