vs
Brake pads WAGNER 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’ve honestly never had a problem with Wagner. Just installed QuickStops on my wife’s Altima. They are quiet, and they bite just as hard as OEMs.
Pros: quiet, good bite
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
When I did my Civic, I went with Wagner Thermoquiets. But I'm not aggressive on the brakes. They're silent, and clean. They'll still cause ABS to engage if I hit the pedal hard.
Pros: silent, clean
Cons: ABS engagement under hard braking
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I now use the Wagner pads the I can get through Advance. Last set went 60K and I just replaced them before the state inspection in October. Technically they would have passed but I just changed them out just so I didn't have to worry about it for a while. For $60 for an axle set, I can't complain. Cost way less, last much longer, easy on the rotors and don't dust the hell out of the wheels. They take a bit more brake pedal pressure but that is OK because it actually helps on brake modulation.
Pros: Cost way less, last longer
Cons: more brake pedal pressure

Volkswagen
Mileage: 96560 km
I just put a set of Wagner on the rear of my E60. Same pad specs and a perfect fit. The car stops dead fast.
Pros: perfect fit, stops fast
Vehicle:
BMW
I personally use Wagner Thermoquiet for my BMW because of low dust and noise-free. They are great pads.
Pros: low dust, noise-free
Vehicle:
BMW
According to Rockauto, Wagner ThermoQuiet parts are available for that car. I would just get those - I've used them on everything I've owned for the past 10 years or so with good results.
Pros: good results, used for years
I changed pads twice, tires once, and nothing else aside from wipers and filters.
Pros: practically maintenance free
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 152000 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
