Akebono pads are usually excellent on hondas (I think they are oem?) As far as rotors, WBR and zimmerman are great. For an economy option you could try carquest pads/rotors. No matter which you go with, make sure to break them in properly because even the best pads/rotors will pulse if improperly broken in.
Running akebono here. Quiet, good for street use, and noticeably less dust compared to oem
Today I just installed Akebono ProACT (ceramic) in the rear. Very very happy with them. Stopping is still very good, they’re dead silent and dusting should be a ton less.
I put a set of these on the front and back of my Audi, and I loved the performance and the added feeling of control and safety when using them.
I am doing EBC Red Pads. I like the stopping power, and drivability of the car for everyday driving and track as well.
I use Akebonos. Good stopping power without too much bite.
I have the ebc green pads for my '08S and my '19S. Along with the rotors from EBC. Love them on both cars.
Used these all last season for autocross and track and they performed great, no noticeable fade and bites hard, dust was significantly more than stock though imho
around town is fine, I used them for an autox event and immediately wanted better brakes. I now have ebc yellowstuff and they bite a lot harder.
the brakes on the VB are pretty bad with zero bite in the first few inches of brake travel. I’ve had the past 2 generations on WRXs for OEM brake comparison. Ordered a full set of EBC Ulitmax2 OEM replacement pads to help a bit.
