Brake pads OEM Honda or OEM Audi
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
They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.
Pros: handle brake fade well

I am easy on brakes. I coast to stops and don't speed either. I have a 2009 Fit. I swapped the front pads and rotors at 120,000 miles just because. They totally did not need to be swapped. I have since put 97,000 miles on the replacement pads and rotors. The ceramic pads I installed have plenty of life left. The rotors are near the end, but still work.
Pros: long lasting, good quality
Cons: rotor wear
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 217000 km
I put 68k on my 21 accord in about 2 years. Pads were all at 7mm. 80 percent highway, 20 percent city.
Pros: long lasting, good wear
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 68000 km
Paid £420 + £180 fitting for mine front and back on a 2019 Audi A4 by going via Euro Car Parts when the Audi garage quoted £1200!!
Pros: cheaper via Euro Car Parts
Cons: expensive at Audi garage
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Got a 2014 DSG and find around town it’s 22-26 mpg but 35 on long motorway runs.
Pros: manageable brakes
Cons: insurance isn’t great
Vehicle:

For years my brakes on my CRV squeaked. My dad replaced them. A few other people/shops worked on them. Still squeaked. I'm talking YEEEAAAARRRRRS. I resigned myself to being *that person* at every friggin stop light. Needed new brakes again. Unique situation as it was, the Honda dealership ended up doing it. It was like $500 but they stopped squeaking!!!! It was heavenly to be a silent stopper.
Pros: stopped squeaking
Cons: brakes squeaked for years
Vehicle:
Honda
First set lasted 70k, the second set 50k as I was cheap and did the pad slap.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: premature wear
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 70000 km
2019 civic. Replaced front pads and rotors at 90k miles but only because road salt fucked up rotors which caused the pads to wear unevenly.
Cons: uneven wear, rotor damage
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 90000 km
Anyone with TTRS fronts has this problem? I definitely noticed this problem ever since I installed Audi TTRS front brakes. I also use Carbs.
Cons: problem noticed after install
