I was thinking of going with the EBC green stuff pads. Can anyone make any other reccomendations and price. I need pads by this weekend. Thanks for the help guys.

 

EBC's suck. I dunno why you need them by this weekend, but if you're really that desperate, get some Autozone NASCAR select pads for an Accord Wagon. They're better than EBC's, and will certainly last longer, and actually be trackable.

Interesting, what years did they make that wagon?

 

OEM

 

axxis ultimates? yoshi234.

 

What can I expect to pay for OEM? I have a friend who works for Honda so she can get parts at cost. Thanks for the help everyone. I'll definetly stay the hell away from the EBC's if they are no good.

 

like 40 bucks?

 

not bad...thanks for the help guys. Now it's just a matter of will they be in stock, probably not...Honda/Acura never has **** in stock for my car.

 

ITR front pads are in stock right now at Woodfield Acura in Hoffman Estates.

 

Thanks a lot NSXTCJR. I'm calling them now.

 

For aggressive street driving, and for anyone looking for a very high-performance street brake pad that has the following qualities:

- low dust and noise
- rotor friendly with good wear rates
- 15-20% more braking torque over OEM Honda compounds
- far greater fade resistance over OEM (1000F vs. 650F)

I highly recommend the AXXIS ULTIMATE brake pad.

Cobalt Friction Technologies (www.cobaltfriction.com) carries the Axxis Ultimate for most Honda/Acura (as well as other Japanese and European imports) vehicles, at very competitive prices.

For the ITR, list prices are $92.25 front and $52.35 rear. As a special introductory price to Honda-Tech.com members, we are offering the Axxis Ultimate at 15% off list prices...and they are in stock and ready to ship.

Cobalt also carries a wide range of high-performance brake fluids, brake pads, etc.

If you have any questions about how to improve the braking performance of your vehicle, please feel free to contact me toll-free at 877.562.9237, or via e-mail at andie@cobaltfriction.com .

Andie: You left carbotech or did they change names?

 

David,

I left Carbotech 1 1/2 months ago to start my own company: Cobalt Friction Technologies. (www.cobaltfriction.com)

Do you sell hawk products? use hawk material in your own molds? Or do I have to talk to Larry again?

Good job on leaving though, I'm sure you'll be much more happy!

 

David,

I am carrying the full line of Hawk, Performance Friction, Ferodo, and Axxis Ultimate products.

Drop me a line some time with what you are looking for, and I'm sure we can find something that works for you.

Talk to you soon!

-Andie

 

Andie,

According to your website, you are also carrying the Pagid and Endless brake pads.

 

Andie: I want to try out some PF pads sometime but I'm selling all my car chit. I'm over it. Next car will be a $1500 beater so I can spend cash where it's more important.. then after debt/etc is gone I'll rebuild my boosted car and buy another boosted (factory) car, then I'll need pads. But, give me some cards next time I see you at the track and I'll pass them out. I've never really had a problem with you and your service was good at carbotech.. if Larry is back on the phones there I must say I will never look forward to calling carbotech again..

 

So for arguments sake, how much are OEM pads from acura?

 

autozone albany pads 11.99 per set. not the best, but if they suck you only spent 12 bucks!

 

he, 'not the best' is one way to put it i'd think

 

I didn't spend all that money for the performance of a Type R, just to degrade that performance to save a few bucks on crappy brake pads (or tires)...

 

like 45-50 bucks rob. there aren't expensive.

autozone nascar pads (or whatever they are called, really PF pads) and good. Cheap and good for street/track.

 

I've decided to go with a set of OEM. I have a friend who works at honda and got them for me at her cost. 20 for the front 30 for the rear. Can't complain about those prices.

 

it costs more for the rear?

 

Yeah, I don't know why...I think list price was 50 for the fron and 65 for the rear. Anyone know why the rears are more expensive?
