I recall Honda uses Akebono as the maker for their OEM brake pads and from my experience with multiple Honda cars, the brake pads work well.

Pros: work well, reliable

I started with akebono pads and rotors after my OE set wore out and they were okay. After them I bought the power stop setup and they weren’t worth it in my opinion they warped a little bit.

Pros: akebono pads were okay

Cons: power stop warped

I hate akebono pads. They last a long time but feel like crap and don't stop the car nearly as well.

Pros: long lasting

Cons: poor stopping power, bad feel

Vehicle: BMW
