Excellent brake pads

Excellent brake pads. I installed front brakes on my 2015 Honda CRV. Easy to install, all hardware fits perfectly. These pads last much better than the original equipment. It's hard to believe how much better the brakes feel now. I'm glad I used them!

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Expensive

Extremely reliable, low noise, no jitter

I combined them with Brembo No Thrills rotors, empty and UV coated. My brake judder is gone, brake pedal feel is softer, but stopping power is the same if not more than the original (bites hard). With these pads, no break is required

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • It was possible to choose a newer model

SILENT WITH BIG STOPPING POWER!

Was a little skeptical about buying this as it is all ceramic, knowing that when cold it could take some time to 'warm up'. That's not the case here though, it works great at any temperature. Feel OEM and I think it could be OEM for some car brands. Also, there is no noise, which is always the case! Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Obsolete model

Dealio Brake Pads

I used all the brake pads as I'm delivering stops and moves all night. I climb steep mountains and descend. These pads are by far the best out there. They heat up less and give off heat faster. I also use Auto Zone's carbon steel rotors and they seem to work very well together. Other brakes and rotors deform and wear out very quickly. They are doing very well and are holding up as I had hoped.

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Damaged

2013 Honda Accord

You're on a friend's 2013 Honda Accord. I don't remember the exact year, but he had a 4-cylinder with a gun. Akebono makes great brake pads and they didn't disappoint. I also ended up getting Bosch wheels as my friend's brake pedal was pulsing and the steering wheel was shaking. They fixed that issue and he says the brakes feel just as good as the stock brakes.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Good overall, but...

Better OEM! 914A fits my Honda CRV 2016 FWD

No brake problems and no noise, 914A comes with mounting kits. Comes with two different sets (pad holder where the pad is held to the caliper) so make sure you know which one is right for your car. If you install a large one or the wrong one, it can touch your rotors and cause an annoying squeak. Aside from the trim kits, the brake pads are the best in the range with no noise and very low dust levels. Akebono is great for any car and I would definitely recommend it. I realized that my Honda…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Appearance

Better than Bosch! fits brake system

put bosch pads and discs on my 2016 accord. At first I was very happy, but after 2 months I started getting a noise that sounded like I was trying to stop using the ceramic block. Called Bosch and they told Revain to arrange the return. I did it and Revain credited it to me. After removing the pad, the material on the edges came loose. I have never seen such a defect in almost new rubbers. Installed Akebono pads in about 30 minutes. After that there was no noise at all and the pads bit more…

Pros
  • finally bought
Cons
  • some cons
