well i need new front pads for my 05 si,and at the dealer its $180 bucks!WTF! so should i got to some pepboys of something?

 

depends what kind of pad you are looking for ... do you want something just like the OEM pad or something a little more aggressive?? There are a load of pads out there for under $180 ...

 

Damn, an 05?! How many miles you get out of those pads?
I prefer OEM. I buy mine online through Honda/Acura dealer sites like hondaacuraparts.com, etc.

 

Oh man DONT buy OEM brake pads. I know brakes, and I know how good some OEM parts are, but some are just not worth it, like windshield wipers, brake pads, and the price they charge for oil. Hell you can put in AEM pads for 50$ an axle man. AEM pads are made in conjuction with Nissin, the company that makes our calipers. You can do a lot better than an OEM pad for a lot less, DON'T buy OEM pads, thats a waste. You could do better with a cheap ceramic pad from autozone or pepboys. Performance ones are even 40-60$ a set, like Axxis, AEM, PBR, Hawk, etc. I suggest AEM as I run them. They stop better than OEM, are totally quiet, have low dust, and don't fade easily. I'd check ebay.

If you DO go oem, get em from an online dealer, such as hondaautomotiveparts.com they'll be cheaper
