Brake pads Mintex or OEM Honda
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
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
I've been running the stock brakes with aftermarket pads for a few years and it's worked well for me. Mintex 1144, Ferodo DS2500 and Roddisons pads have all been great.
Pros: worked well, great performance
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
I used Mintex 1144 on my MK7.5 ST. Were great for fast road and some Nurburgring laps in a year.
