I need brake upgrades for a 2012 Honda pilot. The local twisty road is quite hilly and I can be hard enough on the brakes to get fade from the OE brakes. They seem to have shit themselves after a recent drive. I asked for pad recommendations and was told Hawk Performance, EBC Bluestuff, Porterfield r4-s, or akebono euro are good options. I was unable to find those for my car. If any internet stranger could find some in a size that fits, that would be awesome, but I would also be open to other suggestions. I also would like fluid and rotor recommendations. I don’t want drilled rotors, would consider slotted. I’m hoping to not dump tons of cash on this, as I’m trying to save for a better car as the long term plan. Thanks in advance!
That’s good advice if you’re driving a sporty car close to the limit. It’s a Honda pilot so the limit is fairly low and falls into the range of spirited driving. I want to save for a more suited car to how I drive which won’t be pushed as hard when driven somewhat spiritedly.
No you’re driving that vehicle past its limit and you should change the way you drive if the brakes are fading that badly.
