Rating 4.5

I bought stock front rotors from a local dealer. Shopped around to find a dealer with the lowest price (low $90/ea range as I recall). I purchased Akebono Performance ceramic pads on Amazon: They are showing as “currently unavailable.” Maybe you can find them somewhere else. Brake pulsing is now gone, car stops very well, and I have less brake dust than with stock pads.

Pros: good stopping, less dust
Cons: pulsing gone

Ferodo Brake pads

Ferodo DS2500 paired with Zimmerman blank rotors and Motul RBF600 is what I use. The tracks I go to are more technical and not fast so it's great for my use case. I imagine if I went to a track where speeds are above 150Km/H and have long, fast corners, I would need better pads. I'm considered intermediate to advanced and last ran a 1:47 at CTMP DDT with worn Vitour Tempesta Enzo tires. I think I can run low 40s this year. I would not track with stock pads. I overheated my pads and brake fade hit hard. The pads melted and I went off the track and almost over the hill at TMP (Cayuga).

Pros: good for technical tracks
Cons: overheats at high speeds

Accord G8 2010 - Dejo un listado todo repuestos originales en Honda, algunos los compre sin factura y me bajaron un 20-30%, otros solo pedí precio y no los compre todavía. \-4 Pastillas originales Akebono - 330K

Pros: repuestos originales, precio accesible

Ferodo Brake pads

I used DS2500 for my first 2 track days but outgrew them rather quickly on a 2800 lb car. Last time I swapped to DS1.11 and felt much more confident braking deeper into corners with zero fade at my intermediate level. Now I just use DS2500 for the street and canyons.

Pros: confident braking, zero fade
Cons: outgrew quickly, not for track

Akebono Ceramic pads and EBC rotors (slotted if you're feelin frisky). EBC pads are fine too, but a lot of people experience noise. Akebono pads are just super solid and problem free.

Pros: super solid, problem free
Cons: a lot of noise
