Brake discs OEM Toyota or OEM Honda

honda or toyota. civic, accord, camry, corolla, avalon.

parts and service are cheap. not much goes wrong. i had a 08 civic lx from 50k miles to 150k miles. only thing i had done were brake discs and ac replacement.

Since enrolling in the daily death-race a year ago, I've: Replaced the Serp. Belt and idler, adjusted the valves, changed CVT oil and its filter a couple times, swapped O2 and Mass airflow sensors, replaced front brake rotors and pads, upgraded headlamps and added an Acura switched light for the rear so I can turn it off and leave the hatch open. I've got the set of drums and pads for the back waiting for a good day - that should fix whatever caused the parking brake to seize until I stopped setting it last winter.

OEM pads and rotors lasted 150k miles so I went with them again. $389 for everything. Perfect fit, finish and feel.

I had several issues with warping on my last Toyota and finally switched to OEM parts. Worth the extra dough in my opinion.

Buy Honda ones from the Honda dealership

Just pads and rotors is fine. Probably cheap rotors causing the issue. Go OEM Toyota. Almost positive Akebono pads are oem, as well as Advics rotors. Either way these will not warp.

My experience with hundreds of thousands of miles on many different Toyota/Lexus SUV’s is to go with OEM. You shouldn’t have to do anything with the calipers unless one is frozen. You’ll know that for sure when you try to collapse them to put in the new brake pads. Otherwise just new rotors, pads and all hardware (pins, shims, etc)

Many heavy 4WD vehicles out there chew through rotors in 25k miles. My LandCruiser goes through them every 20k. And yes, I have checked the thickness and I've tried resurfacing old rotors a couple times but it always resulted in short life and problems.

OEM rotors were badly warped within the first year and Honda refused to warranty because they were “still in spec”. Of all OEM Honda parts, I think their brake rotors are one of the worst quality I have experienced.

Why are Honda original equipment rotors such garbage?
