Brake pads Raybestos or OEM Honda

OEM Honda Brake pads

I've done about 4000 miles on it this year and it's really grown on me. It's comfortable enough, the brakes are really good, the abs isn't overly intrusive. The handling is decent, the geometry is definitely more about stability than agility.

Pros: comfortable, good brakes
Cons: stability over agility
Vehicle: Honda
Mileage: 6437 km

For the record, my wife has a 2014 Honda Odyssey with 175,000km on it and she's had zero problems aside from normal stuff like changing her brakes and whatnot. That thing is a tank.

Pros: zero problems
Vehicle: Honda Odyssey
Mileage: 175000 km

I installed Raybestos Element 3 on my wife\u2019s 2015 LT along with new Element 3 rotors. Better stopping power than the stock pads but a little more brake dust. The increased performance is worth it to me.

Pros: Better stopping power
Cons: more brake dust
Vehicle: Chevrolet Tahoe

Alright to offer some professional advice from someone who works on these for a living. The front brakes are 95% or more worn, it's a little unclear but at best there is about 1mm of brake pad left and new I believe the pads come at about 11mm.

Pros: professional advice
Cons: brakes are worn
Vehicle: Honda

Brakes are a composition issue. rears wore out at 34,000 miles on my 22 Taos S. Replaced with Raybestos Hybrid ceramic and with 87,000 they still have plenty of life.

Pros: plenty of life
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 34000 km

Raybestos Brake pads

I have the Raybestos EHT on my ol' Camry and Avalon. They lack longevity and will pulse toward then end of their usable life. The quality control has slipped a little of the years. You might have to file fit them(as with any pad). I'd say that they won't tolerate a hack installer. My EHT stopped better than my Akeboner proacts.

Pros: better stopping power (than Akebono)
Cons: lack longevity, pulse near end of life, slipped quality control, difficult installation

I put Akebono ProActs on my car 3 years ago, and it has the softest pedal of any car Ive ever owned; I almost have to plan ahead before hitting the brakes it takes so long to come to a complete stop. I Put the Raybestos E3 on my wife's van (which previously had warped rotors), and the braking was fantastic for the final 2 years we kept it. More bite, no warping (even with the Semi-metallic pads), stop on a dime, no noticeable noise. Meanwhile the Akebonos on my car squeal like frightened pigs now, and the rotors just started warping (hence why Im on this sub, comparing other brands).So I'm going back to the Element 3s, or moving up to PowerStop. IDC what Scotty Kilmer says about the Akebonos - the main thing I want from my brakes is to stop the car quickly and safely, hopefully without warping the rotors. Everything else is secondary. The friction on the "premium" ProActs is mediocre at best (also no warranty, but that doesn't really factor in for me). And with my family as passengers, Im more concerned with stopping safely than a little noise or dust, or pad longevity.YMMV, but for me, Im done with the 'bonos.

Pros: good braking, no warping
Cons: soft pedal, squealing, warping

Also ordered Raybestos pads and rotors.

3) Lastly, the brake pads' bodies are the right dimensions to fit the caliper brackets, but why would the friction-material footprint be so much smaller?! I can only think of negatives with using these.

Cons: friction material footprint smaller
Vehicle: Dodge Caliber
