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.
I took apart my fronts on my 2016 Mazda at 50k and was surprised that they were still at 50%.
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
Right now I’m looking at getting the Akebono Proact pads. Fairly confident the pads are good cuz that’s the OEM brand to my understanding
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.
All the time. I usually go for Akebono Pro Act pads, and name brand rotors like Raybestos, etc.
I buy everything parts related on there unless I need something the same day then I buy locally. I stick with Akebono brakes for all my cars and they’ve been good so far. For rotors I just go with a well known brand that has painted hats to avoid rusts.
I have Akebono ProACT in front and OE at the back. All good.
Had the same scenario with my cx30 after changing the brakes, only the car messages were things such as engine malfunction and dynamic control malfunction which is ridiculous. Clearing the fault using a Bluetooth obd and the torque app was enough for me, thanks for the post.
Similar thing happened to me today, vehicle is 2023 cx-50, 25k mile, not even 2 year, in upstate ny with weekly car wash, gentle on gas and brake. They said front pads are 30%, rear pads are 50%, quoted me $600 to get new front pad & rotor, and rear brake service(cleaning, lubrication). Just 2 month ago from another mechanic's report (same delear), all pads are above 50%. I don't think it's that bad that both pad and rotor need to be replaced, so I denied the work,
