Carbotech Brake pads
chadwicke619
  • Braking:
  • Noise:
Rating 4.0

I installed Carbotech XP10 brake pads in the front, and they seem to work really well. When I drive the car, it will squeal sometimes when I’m not even pressing the brakes - when this happens, I can make it stop with any pressure on the brakes. I like the idea of keeping these brakes in because I like the added stopping power, and I like being ready for the track at all times.

Pros: added stopping power, work well
Cons: intermittent squealing
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Part number: XP10

Rating 4.0

Went with coated rotors and AC Delco pads, which are GH front and GG rated rears. A lot more stopping power compared to stock.

Pros: more stopping power

OEM Honda Battery

Yes, very true. The closest you get to 100% SoC, the more the battery degrades. The ideal SoC would be at around 50-60%. But 80% is also good. (My EV has its lowest limit at 80%).

Pros: 80% is good
Cons: battery degrades at 100%

OEM Honda AC compressor

This happened to me with a 2003 Civic in 2007. It was like a $1700 job back then, but Honda went 50/50 on the parts/labor after I wrote in with a sob story, told them I had a Honda lawnmower, etc - so I had to pay $650.

Pros: Honda paid 50/50
Cons: required replacing condenser
Vehicle: Honda Civic

OEM Honda Steering rack
sllewgh
  • Play:
  • Leaks:
Rating 2.0

If there's a lot of play or you can see visible leaks, you may need a new steering rack. It happens around that mileage on a lot of these, including mine at 174k. Replacing it requires dropping the subframe and is a PITA for whoever is doing it. 1.5k-2k for a shop to do it.

Cons: prone to leaks, difficult to replace
Vehicle: Honda Ridgeline
Mileage: 280025 km

Duralast Starter motor
maywood86
  • Cranking:
  • Sounds:
Rating 2.0

My 09 Civic’s starter took a dump (was definitely due) around 2020. Don’t remember why but I got a Duralast starter at AutoZone knowing the pain in the ass risks. After replacing the starter I regretted it given how Honda made it somewhat difficult to replace but not impossible. A little over two years now the starter is now giving me issues with click no turn & me having to give it a tap or two.

Cons: click no turn, tap needed
Vehicle: Honda Civic
