Honda parts reviews

I've been to 20 track events to this day I'm still running OEM calipers. Just carbotech pads. You don't need a big brake kit at all. The oem cracks because of improper cooldown. I learned that after a session to take my cooldown lap seriously and ever since then i stopped cracking AutoZone rotors

Nothing like having that factory H logo glass on a 21yo beauty

I got their vented rear and front rotors (Girodiscs) with stock calipers and Ferrodo DS2500 pads all around. For a stock powered car they work great at VIR. I have done 2 sessions there now and braking is pretty decent. On the street this combo will never fade period. The rears overheat which overload the fronts and cause issues. Rears overheating also causes the wheel bearings to go out so getting vented rears is just smart.

I’ve been told by some very experienced S2000 drivers that this is the best braking setup outside of a BBK. It’s streetable as well, if you don’t mind a bit squeaking. Make sure to burnish/bed the pads in beforehand for better performance.

I ran stock rotors for a long time with carbotech xp10/8, front brake ducts, stainless lines, and Motul 660. The XP10/8 + ducts was sufficient for 20min session the tracks I drive.

I'm not a track guy, but centric premium blanks are what I use based on s2ki recs, if your feeling fancy, I've heard good things of girodisk 2 piece rotors. Obviously, tracking you'll want to replace blanks more often, but centric blanks are cheap and plenty.

As an ASE honda mechanic stick to OEM Only which will be NGK lazer Iridum or Denzo Iridum plugs. Cheap plugs foul and cause wear and tear on ignition coils and other electronics. As well but not limited to possible system lean codes and fouled injector tips.

Bosch Clearadvantage —- good swipes, but didn’t last long. The larger blade on driver side started wobbling.

Delphi is hit or miss. One of my techs just put a Delphi in his Honda Pilot and the pump failed after about a month. Fortunately, it was just the anti-drain back valve that failed and only caused a hard start instead of him being stranded somewhere.

Broke my Honda Windshield. I’ve never had a broken windshield before.
