Owner reviews for brake pads

brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)

For the record, my wife has a 2014 Honda Odyssey with 175,000km on it and she's had zero problems aside from normal stuff like changing her brakes and whatnot. That thing is a tank.

Change out the pads for ceramic pads like Akebono, they should be quieter and less brake dust.

I did this with mine and they have been great so far, while saving some money.

The brembos make a big difference.

I installed Raybestos Element 3 on my wife\u2019s 2015 LT along with new Element 3 rotors. Better stopping power than the stock pads but a little more brake dust. The increased performance is worth it to me.

So I use delphi pads. I threw away a bunch of chinesium pads because they screamed. Like people in other vehicles looks at you funny scream. On top of the Delphi pads I make sure I install a squeal shim (not sure of the science name) if you keep stock pads and disks make sure you replace the locating pins and springs with the pads. They are super cheap, and they do wear on the flared head and can slip through. Almost happened to me.

I put on some Brembo ceramic pads on the rears and it felt a tad softer braking.

I’ve clocked 14k, and yes, I’ve already finished off my brake pads. Truth be told, I don’t really expect them to last longer since I drive quite aggressively. Now, the OEM pads cost roughly around 6k with labor. Honestly, I don’t think they’re worthwhile, as the braking feels noisy and lacks bite.

Every time I get Bosch brake pads I\u2019m disappointed.
