Good morning
i checked my front brake pads, and are due for replacement. the rotors are in really good condition with lots of meet left on them
what brand would you guys recommend for the TL?
Cheers,

 

Anything.

Just depending on your budget and goals.

If you have no reason to buy race pads, don't buy race pads.
If you need something ASAP, autozone is around the corner.
If you want OEM, head to your local honda/acura dealer.

Depends on your budget and needs and wants

 

Budget is not issue. No need for race pads. Just asking what most owners use. Yes autozone is 3 blocks away but I'm not happy with reybestos or what ever. I found racestop on Amazon $36 for front pads . I think they were carbon ceramic pads. I'll share link

Is there something you felt that the original pads were lacking? If so, then what? Pads all do different things well. Let us know what you're looking for so we can make a sensible recommendation.

If you didn't feel anything lacking from the originals...then just buy the OEM pads from a dealer. The factory pad is the best all-around pad. Which is why Acura painstakingly chose them and then put them on every TL they made.

 

With reybestos after 1000miles or do Gary start squeaking. On my other cars.
I'm also flushing brake fluid. I'm using Motul DOT 5.1

 

again, what are your requirements in a pad?
why use the motul 5.1 if race equipment is not required???
what is your goal?

again, if you need pads right now...there's an autozone right down the street from you.. go pick up some pads.
if you dont mind waiting and want OEM....try the Acura/Honda dealers.

what is it you want in a pad?????

 

I had left over from my CBR1000RR I bought 4 pack.
just looking for pad that will not start squeaking after 1k miles, less dust.

 

perhaps a ceramic pad from autozone??????
tis what I use, because I didnt want the dust from an OEM pad.

 

Did the factory pads squeak or have dust? Mine don't....

If that's all you want...you don't want anything special.

 

I installed the posi quiet brake pads with stop tech slotted rotors because my OEM ones were warped at 30K miles. Got a gerat combo deal on autoanything.com. Posi Quiet pads are quiet with no squeaking but produce a lot of brake dust. I mean A LOT of brake dust. The wheels turned all brown on the inside and the calipers looked like they had rusted from said brake dust. If you do regular wheel cleanings its a great pad. Still going strong with lots of thickness left 30K miles later. Make sure you relube the guide pins and apply permatex brake lube to the back of the pads aswell to limit the noises

 

factory pads are your best bet; almost no noise or dust

 

The car gets dirty, and so do the wheels. Safety/performance>dust anyday. I switched to semi metallics and they perform amazing compared to ceramics and organics. They clean right off during a car wash, and I wash my car only a few times a year.

 

I'm with you fully.

I go with pads that work well. I consider dust way down the line of priorities.

 

Belated, I actually use Motil 5,1 too. Was a better price and I liked the EBC yellowstuff however I wanted zero dust, and squeaks so Akebono ASP for the front Akebono ACT on the back. Didnt make ASP or ACT for the rear. Totally silent, near zero dust and slight upgrade vs OEM.
