Owner reviews for brake pads

My 2021 is now around 75k miles. I’ve changed the oil, tires and brakes.

Akebono are the best brakes a japanese car could get. I replaced my Civic brakes and rotors myself. Cost was around 200$ in parts from RockAuto. If it’s just one axle, I would consider ordering the parts yourself and doing to job on all tires for less. Plenty of YT videos out there. You could buy or borrow parts and do it for less. *I’m a 45 yo woman for reference.

Good prices and looks like quality pads. Akebono is good.

If you want something good get raybestos have them in my 8th gen accord and they are above oem.

Brake pad? Bendix

I had Z26s on my first TSX. Those things made my stock brakes feel like a joke. They also look cool on the car too. I'm planning to get them again for my current tsx when it's time to replace my pads.

WRT the Hawk Pads… I’ve run both compounds and for a beginner you’re not going to notice the difference. They’re both good track pads. Do not run them on the street or if you do try to minimize the time you are on them and know you will have horrible stopping distance when cold.

Hawk pads brake great but they will eat your rotors and they are some of the dustiest pads.

Mine has done it from day one. Good job GM. I’m not fixing it. Let people hear what GM is selling to people.

My breaks were squeaking with less than 5000 miles. Bad and embarrassing squeaking.
