Brake pads OEM BMW or OEM Honda
A common brake upgrade to the E34 5 series was to install E38 (7 series) brakes. Only downside is you also have to install larger wheels.
Pros: better braking performance
Cons: requires larger wheels
Vehicle:
BMW
My understanding is the OEM brakes have well-rounded performance. In spider chart terms, it would look like a round pizza with one slice taken off, and that would be due to dust. They still excel with high performance, solid longevity all at a reasonable cost
Pros: high performance, long lasting
Cons: lots of dust
Vehicle:
BMW X3
K12GT checking in. It’s the smoothest bike I’ve ever ridden. I wish the brakes weren’t made of wood but, I’m used to “quirks” of BMW’s now, after 200K on 1150 (RT & GS-A)
Pros: smoothest bike ever ridden
Cons: brakes made of wood
Mileage: 200000 km
Impressively even wear. Got every bit of life out of that set.
Pros: even wear, long life
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Brakes and rotors are kinda easy.
Pros: kinda easy
Vehicle:
Honda
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.
Pros: fantastic, fine for autocross
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
Pros: acceptable for daily use, not terrible dust
Vehicle:
Honda Prelude
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.
Pros: improved turn in, corner habits
Cons: so-so brakes, torque steer
Vehicle:
Honda Prelude
the steering lacks the consistent weighting and tactile communication that a Porsche offers. For a car this rapid, it's not as talkative as it should be. We've also got reservations about the brakes. Our test car was fitted with competition-grade brake pads to cope with track use, but they still faded badly after a handful of hard laps.
Cons: brakes faded badly
Vehicle:
BMW
If there's a sore point on the Si, it's the brakes. It's that initial application is far too touchy, making smooth heel-and-toeing difficult especially when only light brake application is required. That abruptness proves annoying even in hard use, and the slightly spongy pedal feel doesn't help matters.
Cons: touchy, spongy pedal
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
