Owner reviews for brake pads

I've bought brake parts on Amazon for probably a decade. Just got Akebono pads for my Type R on their a couple months ago.

Watched some YouTube, bought OEM parks off rock auto, did it in 40 mins for $300. Those bitches survived many track days for another 30,000 miles till I sold the car.

I thought I had a bleed/bore issue because my hydro wouldn't lock up under full force, turns out the stock style break pads were not sufficient to lock it up (even though stock pads work to lock rear wheels on foot brake). I switched over to Hawk HP+ pads and that did the trick for me.

I daily red stuff (stopping a Stinger). They're fine. Occasionally a bit touchy, but that's more me than the pads.

I just did brakes with: Powerstop Evolution Sport, Drilled/Slotted Discs, Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Pad Part Kit#: P15K5305, Mach V Techna-Fit SS Lines, Motul DOT 4 fluid. All for under $600 and I’ve been very happy with this setup. I don’t track but drive spirited and they’ve performed flawlessly, and no more brake dust.

No complaints using reds for daily. If there’s any track use, stick with blues.

EBC red is a great street and auto X pad. It’s not a trackpad. EBC Blue is entry-level track and well it technically can be used on the street. Its manners are pretty poor.

The Reds are designed for streets applications. They will be a much better pad on a daily driver that goes to auto cross or mountain roads.

All 10th gen civics do this.. 10th gen accord, and we've noticed it on some 11th gen civics, too... There was an updated pad that's supposed to help with it..

The Brembo pads from euro’s are basically fakes. They’re an extreamly basic pad no different to Mann etc. I run EBC yellow stuff in my scooby which is my daily and they’re shit hot once abit warned up. But they do give off a fuck load of brake dust.

I have them and haven't seen any improvement in braking. They're also very noisy.
