Default Which Brake Pads Do You Use?

Just wondering.

Got 28K out of Wagner Thermo-Quiets on new Rotors.

Got new set and got 24k on machined rotors.

Wondering what to get next time. What has worked for you all?

Hey I always use ebc green stuff but I drive pretty aggressively. I've also had really good experience with hawk hps and project mu but those were almost 200 just for pads. If you want longevity I would recommend a quality pair of ceramic brakes they will last the longest under "normal" driving condition and will give you less brake dust.

I changed my OEM front brake pad around 80k. I replaced with OEM pad 2 years ago, driving almost 20k now. I greased the sliding pin 2 weeks ago. Still has plenty life on the pads. I expect to change them at 160k

Currently using Hawk HPS (I drive VERY aggressively)

Formerly used Wagner Edge which is definitely one of the quietest pads I ever used.. Very good if that is what you prioritise..

I've used a lot of pads and so far Wagner Thermoquiet pads have been the best.

Would not use EBC pads at all on a daily/slow car. Chances are they won't get hot enough to work effectively enough. I would only use EBC pads on an aggressively driven car.
OEM Honda pads would be ideal or whatever you can get!

OEM pads works just fine for daily commute.

I got some ceramics with the refund from my fast-to-wear lifetime wagners. Hopefully I can get more than 24K out of them.

Thanks.

Had a set of OEM on for the last two years I ran the car. They were still good when I took my car off the road for the rebuild. Spirited daily driving .
