Brake Pads and Brake Rotors

[Gnyce09]

I failed the New york state inspection because i need new Brake Pads and Brake rotors. Any suggestion on a good brand to get for the brake pads and brake rotors for a 92 accord ex ?

I mean just dont buy something VERY cheap on ebay. Brakes are one thing you just dont wanna cheap out on. I have been using the advance auto $20 pads for the past 4 years and I need to replace them because my rotors are in bad shape, but other than that they have a lot of meat left on them. Only complaint I have is that they leave alot of dust.

yea i definitely want to buy some that will last for a long time have you ever heard of "wearever" brand ?!

[southsidecb7z]

that is the brand im using...golds i believe but no problems yet

can't go wrong w/ brembo. I've had them on my car for the past 2 years and they're shudder free....though I do have the 11.1" upgraded brakes from an Acura Vigor.

my mechanic told me 2 make sure there were ceramic so of course i went with that but the brand i got was " Akebono" and they lady told me there were the oem for the accord but i think she was just trying to make a sell. ?

Akebono and Nissin are the two brake supplier sources for our 90-93 Accords.

I've noticed the pattern to be (based on several CB7s):

Coupes: Nissin
Sedans: Akebono

I use the Autozone Gold brake pads and duralast rotors on both of my vehicles. Never had any issues.

look into EBC pads and brembo blanks, they brake with great performance and are very durable and lasting combo! they best investment you'll make for saftey!

yea i looked into the akebono brakes pads and i went with those. When my mechanic was putting them on he realized i need new brake calipers. Autozone had something called Candone any of you guys heard about that ?

[HondaFan81]

Cardone is a good brand. Basically front calipers are usually remanufactured units. I honestly have had no problems with any brand. Make sure the piston boot looks good before install.
