Brake pads Akebono or ENDLESS

I recommend using Akebono ceramic instead of OEM semi-metallic because they’re more gentle on the rotors and significantly less dusty.

Factory brake pads really are better but that's like the one part they seem to gouge the price on the worst, I usually try to get the closest thing to factory the aftermarket offers, you can usually get Akebono which might actually be the same as factory for quite a bit less on like Tire Rack or sometimes the local parts place will have them.

Spend the money on the Akebono pads.\n\nI\u2019ve been around Napa an Carquest for my entire adult life and even the best from those brands DO NOT compare to the Akebono pads. You can get them from any parts retailer

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

Duralast gold is good but akebono is likely the OEM manufacturer. If you can find it, get it

I just swapped to Endless ME20 for my non-daily, but it's not obnoxiously loud, I could see myself daily driving it.

Akebono ceramic is the best you can get for stock applications. Very low dust and made in usa. my LX gets Akebono pro act pads.

Pads look good but the rotors look like they have fine grooves in them. For a Honda I’d use centric rotors & akebono pads. You can’t go wrong with that combo.

I'm now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.

Don’t recommend Akebono because their ProACT pads are weaker than stock.
