how much is a pair at the acura dealer?

if i go to pep boys.. do they have good pads?

thanks guys!

 

i dunno but i wanna add to your question.. what are the red brake pads i see all the time now.. is there a certain company/type or are they gettin painted red?

 

Just remember to get ceramic pads... a brand you've heard of is best.

 

do you have a csk around you?

 

Autozone.....mad cheap! half the price of some places. when I went to pep boys they never have anything in stock.

 

Dealership prices for brake pads in my area are about $52.00 front and $42.00 rear.

Pep Boys are O.K. but you could do better and it would not cost that much more.

Autozone is cheap but you pay for what you get. I had alot of brake dust and they wore out quick like every 12 months. I would go with PBR or AEM. I have used both of these myself and they are very good everyday brakes. I just put PBR brakes on the back of my CL last month because they are cheaper than AEM pads. I paid $28.00 Rear and the front cost about $36.00 plus install which I do myself. they have less brake dust which is better for my rims, they have a good stopping power, no noise at all, and they have lasted about 36 months on my other car with semi aggressive street driving. The AEM pads are on my other car now and they have been just as good and lasted a little longer. Buy the best pads you can afford because they are important.


I think the red pads the other guy is asking about are AEM pads. They run about $50.00-$60.00 front and $40.00-$50.00 rear

 

i guess it would be calld schucks in your area.. best pads ever = satisfieds.. come in a yellow box with a red civic i want to say on it.. people come in and get them all the time and i have them on my car.. definatly worth the money... none of that AUTOZONE or PEPBOYS crap

 

cool thanx for the info guyz.. ill probably just go to the dealer and pick up some honda pads

 

welll if your goign to take that route get them online

 

i would like to.. but i cant wait 3-4 days shipping and handling.. just gonna go to a local acura dealer

my car hardly brakes right now

 

just downshift you will be fine..

 

use axxis organic, they are the only ones i have found that do not give off noise or feedback meaning sweeking

ive tried aem, hawk pro pads, pbr, raybestos sts pads,and akibono(stock pads)

the only ones that dont that i have found with slotted or drilled rotors are the axxis organic,

 

raybestos sts pads should have tried satisfied

 

do they sell those brands at local auto shops?

i have stock rotors.. not slotted or drilled.. would ceramic still be good?

i dunno!! so many choices!

but.. i cant wait for shipping..

and downshifting is out of the question.. my tranny is rough already as it is

 

organic leaves brake dust right??

 

which is better ceramic, or semi-metallic? doesnt the semi-metallic give off less brake dust?

 

HAWK HPS!!! These pads are awesome man, fade is GONE and dust is sooo much less than stock. Don't get stock pads, they suck!



Don't buy anything EBC at all costs!!!

 

where do they sell hawk hps?

 

Pep Boys has em'. Bout $70 for a 3.0, $50 for 2.x

 

Axxis metal masters is what i use. But they leave some serious brake dust. Axxis seems to be a popular choice.

 

70 bucks for 4? thats dirt cheap.. im gonna go get those.. so a pair would be only around 40 bucks?

 

That's just the front pair...
