Well, my brake pad warning light is starting to show up on harder stops.
So, looking for advice on some brake pads.
I actually like the OEM's, except for the dust part.
I do not track my car (not yet at least).
So, I've read recommendations on Pagids or EBC, but possible squealing issues.
What do you guys think?
Stick with OEM and just keep cleaning my wheels every week.
Try out some of the aftermarket more dust free pads but live with the squeal.
Thanks
i've never had EBC pads in my CS, but i've had the EBC Green Stuff pads in my Accord before, and it took forever to bed them in. They were making noise for a while. it seemed to be a common problem too as i've read reviews of people having the same noise issues i was having. i never had these issues when i replace my brake pads w/ OEM. after that, i told myself i would never steer away from OEM unless it was for a true track car and then i'd just change the entire braking system.
I use OEM for the street and Pagid yellow in front and Pagid black in rear for track with stock suspension. I have not had any noise issues with the OEm pads.
In your case I'd stick with OEM pads as they have good stopping power and are generally quiet, and even if you go to the track they will be sufficient for you starting out.
If you're looking for more stopping power, but with a chance of noise then go with Pagid Yellows. Personally I don't like EBC except for greens on low powered cars, other than I had bad issues with discs and pads from them.....and wanted to like them because they're a British company, but couldn't.
Thanks for the replies.
Looks like OEM's are the ones I should stick with.
How many mile on your pads?
Mine are worn out too. They lasted 34K miles.
I'll be sticking with OEM(Textar), and an OEM Rotor supplier.
I only have 26K on mine.
It's my daily driver and crazy traffic during commutes.
Just placed an order through Suncoast for pads. Not replacing the rotors yet.
hmmmm... didn't even think about going directly with Textar.
