Brake pads OEM Honda or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
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
The clutch is light, the brakes feel solid, and the manual steering has a good, confident feel. The engine doesn't lug even if you bring it down to around idle speed, provided you're in the right gear.
Pros: brakes feel solid, confident feel
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I consider my W204 C63 visceral, even if not analog. The 6.2 V8 makes all kinds of nasty noises you would not expect from a Mercedes and it howls all the way up to 7200rpm, which may not be that high, but still impresses me given the size of the engine. The car is quick, noisy and has the brakes to back it up.
Pros: quick, noisy, good brakes
Brake pads and rotors for the fit i prefer OEM since they last around 60,000km. I paid less than that including fluid changes at a shop in the Toronto area.
Pros: long lasting, OEM quality
Cons: pricey
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 60000 km
2000 Honda Oddyssey
High mileage but runs good, small dent on driver's quarter panel. Rebuilt trans, shifts good, engine runs great just had valves done. A/C doesn;'t work probaly needs freon. 3.5l v6 automatic. Aftermarket radio HAS AUX JACK. New headlight lenses, new intake tube, new break pads
Pros: new break pads
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Mercedes has always had great brakes but until the 190E you didn't have many cheap upgrade options. I have E420 brakes on my 190E Sportline, and my god the stopping power is exceptional.
Pros: exceptional stopping power
Fantastic engine & brakes. I think they're very good looking cars, too. Mine bit me hard though, and I'd never own another.
Pros: fantastic engine, brakes
Cons: expensive repairs
My buddy's Honda ELF seized a caliper on the way down a mountain. By the time we found a place to pull over, the pad material had caught fire. That was exciting.
Pros: pad material caught fire
Cons: caliper seized
Vehicle:
Honda
When I had my Honda, a freak incident occured involving pads. I was coming up to a red light and I just heard a "thunk" and next thing I know, I had little to no-brake power. Took the wheel and caliper off, and somehow the outer pad had completley vanished....no joke, gone, nothing left, not even a shred of metal.
Cons: outer pad vanished
Vehicle:
Honda
