Pics of YellowStuff Brake pad install

Before getting started:

Old Pads on:

Bolt removal:

supporting caliper:

Pads removed:
High temp grease on shims:
New pads on:

Any questions just let me know. Did some high speed bedding in procedures and the brakes already feel much better than before. They are supposed to keep getting better for 1000 miles so I think this will be the easy answer to the poor brake feel in the RDX.

How many miles did you have on the original OEM pads?

I just bought the car last month with about 32,000 miles on her. The pads I took off have more than half the pad still left on them, don't know if they are original or not, but they are honda pads.

I can already say that there is nothing wrong with the brake system on the RDX, it is just the pads that are the problem. Braking is so much better already, and it is supposed to improve even more until they get 500-1000 miles on them.
