What brake pads and shoes do you recommend for your Fit?

Anything from the usual auto parts place you recommend?

 

My usual philosophy is never to buy the cheapest or most expensive. Something middle of the road, by a known parts manufacturer, will serve you well. Genuine Honda pads from an online dealer often are cost-competitive, BTW, so don't forget to check.


If you have any out of the ordinary requirements (like track or autocross use, or you hate to clean brake dust and want ceramics) this will change your list of suppliers, of course.

The rear drum shoes on USA market Fits rarely need replacement BTW, so save yourself some money by pulling a drum and visually checking shoe thickness before buying.

 

I've installed

pads : MORSE Part # MKD621 Semi Metallic [Wholesaler Closeout - Private Label Pkg. - 30 Day Warranty]
rotor : BREMBO Part # 25331 [Wholesaler Closeout -- 30 Day Warranty]

they work great!

got them on rockauto.com

 

I've had Hawk street pads on my older non-Fits and loved them. The shop I used to work at always got Gold ceramic pads from OReilly Auto Parts, and those work really well too.

 

I got Hawk street pads for my 08 Civic and really like them. May do the same for my Fit. Heard good things about EBC pads, but never tried them.

 

Loving my EBC set-up. Went with Ulitmax sport rotors and Yellow stuff pads.

I wanted something more aggressive for autoX but still somewhat streetable since the car is DD'd. Really like the bit and totally streetable. The only down fall is the brake dust since there race pads. I'm sure if you go with the Green stuff or the other pads they would be better on the brake dust.

I may even switch to Carbotech XP8 for the track and leave the yellow stuff for the street.
