Brake pads TRW or OEM Honda

For years my brakes on my CRV squeaked. My dad replaced them. A few other people/shops worked on them. Still squeaked. I'm talking YEEEAAAARRRRRS. I resigned myself to being *that person* at every friggin stop light. Needed new brakes again. Unique situation as it was, the Honda dealership ended up doing it. It was like $500 but they stopped squeaking!!!! It was heavenly to be a silent stopper.

My Golf has TRW and Zimmerman which are like OEM+ maybe

I’ll be switching to TRW Ultra pads when the time comes. All reviews say they are similar in performance to OEM without the dust.

I use TRW brake pads (just checked, articles are GDB3592 for front, GDB2172 for back). They make quite a lot of brake dust during spirited driving, but that’s not a big deal for me (IMO more brake dust = less wear on brake discs).

I can recommend TRW „DTEC“ pads. Almost no brake dust, no squeaking, good bite on the breaks. The only trade of is that when it’s really cold or raining and you drive on the highway for a long time, the first half of a second when you break again the performance is weak. That’s what I experienced. I never had this with the original pads in winter time or heavy rain.

happy w trw ultra

I’ve been using trw ultra no dust,no sound and they stop real quick

I went with TRW Ultra ceramic pads and Zimmerman rotors from FCP Euro for my S90. It was a big upgrade from OEM in my experience.

2019 civic. Replaced front pads and rotors at 90k miles but only because road salt fucked up rotors which caused the pads to wear unevenly.

I had rears replaced at 40k. At 60k now. I’ve always had a rumbling sound and vibration when breaking from 60-55 mph (around 57) since 40k.
