Sitting at 110,000 and dealership is suggesting the rear brakes be changed. Time for some akebonos!
I got powerstop rotors drilled and slotted from Amazon front and rear for about $300 and some akebono brake pads with the sensors. Probably all in under $500. Did the work myself, pretty easy honestly.
I prefer Akebono ceramic. I think their top tier line is called ProAct. Very nice pads. Quiet, low dust, and perform well.
Good pad choice, I only use akebono pads personally. Looks like you have a toyota truck/suv. Same here, great pads.
I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).
Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”
For pads Akebono is best
I installed Akebono recently for my rears and so far wheels are staying pretty clean
Braking is mostly regenerative, instead of using the brake pads. Your brake pads will probably last between 100k - 200k miles.
Las Akebono (Japon) que llevan mi Honda valen 180K y las considero caras
Si tu Cronos es automatico me fijaria de ponerle algo bueno, como siempre hacen fuerza cuando frenas en Drive, las pastillas pedorras suenan un montón. Yo tenia Cobrec y las vole a la mierda por eso, puse las OEM y chau problema. Pero me hablaron bien de las LPR y Raybestos.
I replaced my brakes with Akebono. But I am not going to buy it again.
