ANYONE KNOW THE GOOD, BETTER, AND BEST PADS FOR AN ACCORD??? IM GOING TO CHANGE THEM MYSELF. FIRST TIMER. ANY TIPS????

 

whoa, cool it on the caps lock..

yeah, have a manual handy being your first time. reduces the chance of mistakes. you don't want mistakes on a brake job .

be sure to lube the slides and clean everything well before reassembly. inspect all the rubber boots. "condition" them with silicon spray if you'd like. double check everything. get extra brake-parts cleaner and use liberally.

 

This is just my take, open to interpretation as ever...

Good - Wagner ThermoQuiet
Better - Akebono ProACT
Best - Hawk HPS or Ceramic

Check your rotors to see if they need replacing while you are there... easier to get it all done at once.. same goes for bleeding the brakes and getting some new fluid in..

 

i dunno mang on my 98 LX V6 my oriiginal pads were still on the fronts at 100K and the rears were changed at 90K

 

good: duralast
better: duralast gold
Best: Duralast CMAX

hahaha

 

ebay Ceramic pads with ebay cross slotted drills lol got the whole Front sets for 98 bucks

 

and when your front rotors crack... dont come complaining to us...

 

km or mile because I've not seen this before usally 40-60k front and 60k+ back, Drums, for ever or 150k

 

I use the duralast gold with no issues! Plus lifetime warranty.

 

Loving the duralast brakes. It's great!

 

I agree on Wagner Thermo Quiet. Decent performance for the price.

 

x2

 

Good - (normal use) Pretty much anything from a major parts chain.

Better - (some hard, frequent braking) Centric Posi-quiet ceramic $24.32 on discountbrakes.com

Best - (Heavy use) EBC green, Hawk HPS line, Performance Friction (I know, but they ARE good pads)

Don't buy heavy use pads if you don't do any hard-core braking. They will tend to wear rotors faster than the others and are only necessary if you are getting fade from oem pads.

And since we're on the subject, don't ever buy cross-drilled rotors. They are unecessary and will crack unless you get a brand that is retarded expensive. If you want something better, get slotted. Can be found for around $40 each for our cars.

 

Agreed X2, i used these pads on alot of cars no problems.

 

miles.

my current car went 55K on rears and 81K on fronts

 

had the same product and name for my altima own it for 4 years... nothing has happen with over 30K on them

 

Best would be Genuine Oem Honda

 

For oem intended use, I would agree. Really depends on the application and severity of use.
