Brake pads TRW or OEM Honda

I have the TRW ceramic brake pads on my E92 and they are excellent.

Got TRW pads from FCP, they work really well!

Impressively even wear. Got every bit of life out of that set.

I got the ceramic TRW pads from FCP euro. You can find them from ShopDAP, VW dealership, etc. There’s multiple OE suppliers that all work great: TRW, Pagid, Textar. You can also go for the semi metallic equivalent if you want a little extra bite. I believe they all come with the wear sensor, you can simply cut it off at the base and pull out the wire. I’ve done this twice now, no problems. I suppose you could use the advance auto ones if you already have them, but just know they probably won’t give you as much bite as the stock pads, and may end up causing some warping over time since they aren’t designed for the heat temps.

Brakes and rotors are kinda easy.

Honestly the OEM pads are fantastic in this car, I’ve been told by the guy that runs the xgen autocross page that the oem ones are fine for most street and autocross applications.

The clutch is light, the brakes feel solid, and the manual steering has a good, confident feel. The engine doesn't lug even if you bring it down to around idle speed, provided you're in the right gear.

Job got done in about three evenings Biggest time sinks were figuring out how to use the caliper piston compression tool and getting my overtorqued/rusted lug nuts off. Drove up from Maryland to NYC with no problems so I think I did the job right.

Changed the front brake disc and pads (TRW brand) on my car (Opel/Vauxhall Astra J 2016) and noticed my car started to smell heavily burnt rubber after heavy braking when the car stops. I understood that brakes does this in the beginning but now it has gone s month and probably around 150km (100miles) and I also have made some emergency brakes from high speed to speed up this process. So two weeks ago I removed everything and really deep cleaned the caliper and checked the pads. From smelling the pads it seems like it is the glue between the brake pad and the anti squeak plate that cause the smell (?) I also checked the temperature of the brake disc after normal usage and they are all around the same temperature, so I doubt it is a frozen caliper. (Around 70c 155f) but still they smell, maybe a bit less.

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
