Brake pads Textar or OEM Honda
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
rear disc axle with prop valve, new textar pads
Pros: new pads
Vehicle:
Audi
I used OEM replacement Textar pads. At some later date I may go with something a bit more grippy, but for DD duties the Textar/Porsche pads seem to be more than up to the task.
Pros: up to the task
Cons: not very grippy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I recommend Textar, great bite and no need of pre-heating. They also don't cause too much wear on the discs and on the other hand don't generate much brake dust.
Pros: great bite, low dust
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
Textar is an OEM supplier, and they're not that expensive - run with those. Same amount of dust as stock, but no noise, and stock like braking characteristics.
Pros: no noise, stock characteristics
Cons: same dust as stock
I changed pads twice, tires once, and nothing else aside from wipers and filters.
Pros: practically maintenance free
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 152000 km
At 105k miles the rotors are fine and it just got front pads.
Pros: rotors are fine
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 168000 km
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
