Rep Power: 0 Brake Pads/ABS
Hi guys i just have a few questions regarding my Civic 2006 LX. It has front disk/rear drum brakes.
Now the question is i live in Canada, is it better for me to go diretly to a dealer to get the pads changed or can i rely on the internet to purchase a good quaility front brake pads?
Are these any good? http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...html?loc=Front
What would happen if i were to buy non ABS brake pads and ABS brake pads? Because for some reason i feel like my ABS isn't working is there a wiring problem somewhere? Don't get me wrong the reason i'm changing the brake pads is because they are worn out and not because of ABS working or not, i can hear the disc noise and going any further could damage the dics. Do u guys have a better price/performance brake pads?
Thanks

Re: Brake Pads/ABS
There is no difference between the pads. ABS is a control system, not a type of brake pads.
What makes you say that your abs isn't working? Are the wheels locking up under hard braking?

just assuming, but if your pads are goners, and you have metal-to-metal contact, they will not have power enough to even get the ABS to kick-in...
