I use Akebono pads and coated Raybestos rotors. I changed my brakes around the time I got my 07 which was a year ago. I highly doubt you drive like you're street racing or drifting. My brakes still have a hell of a lot of life left in them.
They are Brembo brakes so can be done anywhere.
Akebono makes very good pads.
If your car is spec'd for Brembo brake pads, they probably weren't fully needed in yet, which is 100% normal.
Akebono pads are great.
That's a great price. Akebono is one of the OE suppliers to Honda and it looks like they either forgot to add the price of the pads or just left them out on purpose which would normally add at least an extra $50. $100 or a little over is normal price per rotor so that checks out and 1.25 hours is very cheap. Most shops would be closer to 2 hours to swap all that out.
Akebono are the best brakes a japanese car could get. I replaced my Civic brakes and rotors myself. Cost was around 200$ in parts from RockAuto. If it’s just one axle, I would consider ordering the parts yourself and doing to job on all tires for less. Plenty of YT videos out there. You could buy or borrow parts and do it for less. *I’m a 45 yo woman for reference.
Bei ganz normalen Scheiben (ohne Schlitze und Löcher) wird es kaum einen Unterschied zwischen ATE und Brembo geben. Beim Thema Beläge ist definitiv Brembo besser. Brembo sind aber ehr Performance Beläge, zwar nicht auf Track Level, aber für die erhöhte Leistung ist halt auch mit höheren Verschleiß zu rechnen. Bei einem 0815 A nach B Auto reicht ATE völlig.
Discs are the ones it came with from the factory, pads are Brembo (M Performance brakes on 340i)
This time the shims on the back of my new Brembo brake pads are rotating? Weird! Can’t figure out the mechanics of that happening. Doesn’t make any sense. Only a month old.
