Hi folks,

What ceramic pads have the least initial bite that we know are made for a 2004 GD1. I can't see anything by Akebono for the GD1. I can for the 2007 US Fit but not the 2004 GD1 Jazz.

I think this is the OEM part number 45022-saa-e5. Any pointers?

 

So I am thinking they could be these BRAKE PADS SB BP28265 same as the 2001 Civic for instance.
131.3mm x 54.2mm 14.6mm

Akebono ACT465A (or B or C or D or E) https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=368834
Akebono ASP465A (or B or C or D or E) https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10448404

Does anyone know if the ASP or ACT give the least initial bite and what the A through E suffixes indicate? Are these compound hardnesses maybe?

 

Has any one used the Bosch BC465A QuietCast pads? (note the similarity in part numbers there with the Akebonos)
It looks like the ACT are ceramic while the ASP are sintered metal?

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to which has the lowest DFC? I am trying to find a set of pads that better match the vaccum assistance levels in the Fit/Jazzes to take a chink out of the overly sensitive initial bite issue.
