Brake pads DBA or OEM Honda

OEM Honda Brake pads

I am easy on brakes. I coast to stops and don't speed either. I have a 2009 Fit. I swapped the front pads and rotors at 120,000 miles just because. They totally did not need to be swapped. I have since put 97,000 miles on the replacement pads and rotors. The ceramic pads I installed have plenty of life left. The rotors are near the end, but still work.

Pros: long lasting, good quality
Cons: rotor wear
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 217000 km

DBA Brake pads

DBA pads and slotted rotors From knsbrakes.com. Came in at $1,080 delivered last year. Completely eliminated the shudder with the stock brake pads and the slotted rotors look awesome.

Pros: eliminated shudder, awesome look

I’m at 155,000km and I’m about to replace my OEM rotors and pads this month with DBA slotted rotors + DBA XP/SP brake pads. I do 75% highway driving and I never have to brake hard.

Mileage: 155000 km

The brakes were so-so, and it had lots of torque steer, and benefited greatly from an aftermarket and much stiffer rear ARB, which improved its turn in and corner habits tremendously.

Pros: improved turn in, corner habits
Cons: so-so brakes, torque steer

My buddy's Honda ELF seized a caliper on the way down a mountain. By the time we found a place to pull over, the pad material had caught fire. That was exciting.

Pros: pad material caught fire
Cons: caliper seized

OEM Honda Brake pads

When I had my Honda, a freak incident occured involving pads. I was coming up to a red light and I just heard a "thunk" and next thing I know, I had little to no-brake power. Took the wheel and caliper off, and somehow the outer pad had completley vanished....no joke, gone, nothing left, not even a shred of metal.

Cons: outer pad vanished
Vehicle: Honda
