don't get the lifetime pos silver or gold brake pads they are too hard, get the bendix brakes, semi organic or organic pads. They are softer so they stop quicker and don't wear out your rotors nearly as quick. I buy mine at auto zone.

I had BMW couple of years ago and I use brake pads from autozone. In BMW They ware out quickly and make **** lot of brake dust. I switch to OEM and problem was gone.
So I was wondering if autozone pads do same for Honda?

They are one of the best street pads you can buy.

If you want a lower dusting pad try the carbotech bobcats. they stop even better than the ultimates.

i was just about to recommend these. I've tried these and the hawk hp+ pads, they make about the same amount of dust ( a ****-ton), but the hp+'s are pretty loud for street applications...they tend to squeak, i have them on my rear right now. I have the ultimates on my front right now and i love them.

for a daily driver just stick with autozone or oem pads. If you want a little performance than go with the ultimates

i'm not sure which brake pads are good for daily driving, but you can check out this site for comparison and find the best value.

http://www.tunermarket.com/sea...yId=0

it's a new price comparison site for performance products.

i would not get these pads...i tried them, about same stopping power as oem and a LOT of brake dust especially when they advertise as 'minimal brake dust'...I've tried these and the Axxis Ultimates are just as much, brake dust about the same amount, but they stop a LOT better.
