Brake Pads

[Ffej207]

So I need new brake pads. Should I just get Acura OEM brake pads, or is there something better or longer lasting? I'm not looking for anything special, my wife is just going to be daily driving it as soon as we sell the del Slo.

NAPA ceramix pads. lifetime warranty also.

Hmm.. looks good.. looks like $55/pair. Haven't priced the OEM stuff, but the brake pads that are on now have lasted a good 57k miles.

Here are the OEM prices. These are for brakes pads and shoes. I'm about as mechanically inclined as a squirrel, so I don't know if they shoes are (needed or) included with the NAPA Ceramix.

Also, I'm gonna need to get this done by Friday, because my brakes are already stuttering, if you will - never squealed any though.

i dont think ceramix are available in shoes. But you can get something called application engineered, or severe duty pads. those are a little better than some of the crap thats out there, and they arent very expensive.

rear brakes only do like 20% of the cars stopping anyway, so go with the good stuff in the front, thats where youll pick up the gains.
