Brake pads OEM Porsche or OEM Honda

Two rotors=$100. Set of pads about $50. Couple wrenches, jack and jack stands.

I had a 996.2 and an early 2.5L 986 and I loved the Boxster more. One of the best cars I've owned. I drove it back and forth from NC to WI several times. I am 6'5" and had luggage room to spare. It made better sounds than the 996. It was not very fast. It was pretty easy to work on and every single DIY job is well documented online. It was really comfortable. The handling is awesome, the brakes are awesome. Even the base ones.

All 10th gen civics do this.. 10th gen accord, and we've noticed it on some 11th gen civics, too... There was an updated pad that's supposed to help with it..

I own a 1999 996 C2. I have had the car for over 10 years. I bought it with 70k miles, and it now has 169,000 miles.

It is in the garage now waiting for front brakes. Have the parts, just got busy.

I'm not sure if it counts, but I put porsche brakes on the front and TTRS brakes on the rear.

I also supplied new rotors, pads, and all fluids and pads. My bill was $650 at a Porsche specific independent shop.

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.

Seeing what looks like a Prelude wheel, why not just get the OEM honda brake pads? They are acceptable for most daily use, and the brake dust isn't to terrible to deal with

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.

If there's a sore point on the Si, it's the brakes. It's that initial application is far too touchy, making smooth heel-and-toeing difficult especially when only light brake application is required. That abruptness proves annoying even in hard use, and the slightly spongy pedal feel doesn't help matters.
