vs
Brake pads TRW 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
I have the TRW TPC1633 ceramic pads installed, perfect fit (OEM) and brake as good as stock...actually smoother. Dust is reduced maybe by half.
Pros: perfect fit, brake smoother
Cons: dust reduced by half
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: TPC1633
TRW Ceramic pads, look identical to OEM, since TRW makes the OEM pads. Feel same as stock, way down on dust.
Pros: way down on 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
Finally got around to getting my brakes installed. I've barely put 10 miles on the setup, and the improvement is quite noticeable. Initial bite is improved, and much less effort is required for the same braking force.
Pros: initial bite is improved
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 10 km
In an effort of "lets start over with the basics" we changed the front pads with new TRW OEM ones and the thing was back to normal awesome braking. This Van should stop with alacrity and ABS should kick in when you really step on the brakes.
Pros: awesome braking, back to normal
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
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
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
