vs
Brake pads OEM Honda or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
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
I don't like MBs organic brake pads, I went ceramic and have nearly eliminated all brake dust and good stopping power. I do, very much so, love my MB rotors.
Pros: good stopping power, eliminates brake dust
Cons: MB organic pads
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
the only issue I’ve had with it is the brakes squeak sometimes. They work fine but it annoys me and they say it’s “normal”.
Pros: brakes work fine
Cons: squeaky brakes
Impressively even wear. Got every bit of life out of that set.
Pros: even wear, long life

Honda Accord
I literally just did the rear rotors/pads and front pads for my amg GTS last week. I found that MBpartscenter.com had the best price that are OEM. Only 1k per rotor (compared to the dealer who wanted 1700 each). I also got porterfield R4S pads from pelican parts. They are considered streetable/track pads. I didn’t change the front rotors yet, but if I were to I would get them from FCP euro at $500 each rotor. My mechanic charged me $500 for install and a brake fluid flush
Pros: good price, OEM parts
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
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
