Rep Power: 0 It isn't you brake pads it is warped rotors. According to Honda this is caused by excessive heavy braking and when they said that I said it is caused by Honda's decision to use crappy brakes. They didn't disagree with me. Take your car in and have them resurface the rotors have them do that as often as possible before 20,000 miles so they will have to replace them before the warrenty is up otherwise just buy performance brakes

Rep Power: 0 screw the dealership....go out buy cross-drill rotors so that the rotors don't over heat as quick. and get EBC or Project pads....if they are out yet...dealer used bullcrap rotors....when i get the money, i'm changing the whole braking system with 4 big disc brakes

Rep Power: 0 2k2civic is right [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG] Sounds like excessive heat may have warped the rotors. If you can't afford better performance rotors, have the stock pieces milled/ shaved level by a good brake shop, and replace the pads. The old pads will form to the contour of the warped rotor.
All I can tell you is that the brakes in my 02 EX Coupe are some of the worst I have ever seen in a new car. Let me tell you gents ...I've owned many a car. Honda better get their sh** together in the braking dept. I'm disappointed.

Rep Power: 0 I dont know about the rotor resurfacing (except that it can only be done a certain number of kinds on each rotor before they have to be replaced altogether) but if it is helpful to anyone who changes their brakes themselves, you can go to Auto Zone and buy a lifetime brake deal - where you pay a flat fee, then you get free brakes for the life of your car - no matter how severe a driver you are. My previous car had warped rotors, and I simply continued to drive the car in that condition (until it just got too bad) and replaced the brakes pretty frequently. Anyway, it will save some money.

Rep Power: 0 All you ***** are braking like you're filming Fast and the Furious....
My front rotors are warped at 30,000km (1mile == 1.6km). I had to get then machined, but it was done for free, under warranty.
I had my pads checked at my 32,000km service, and they said I had about 45% left. Most of those km's are doing downtown driving too......
Note: I've got 4 wheel disc, stock.
So, warped brakes, fine. But pads gone already? Give me a break..... I attirbute my warped brakes to me being an idiot and spraying them with water when I was at a car wash once.....

Rep Power: 0 hey everyone this is my first post. would getting those EBC Green Stuff pads be a good idea. and would using those screw up my warranty. my civ is about two months old what would you suggest.

As for the warranty, I really don't think that they will cover it under the warranty, because just like tires, these are components that wear off in time, and whose going to prove that I don't drive like Michael Schumacher? I'm going to give my dealership a call, along with Honda Customer service to determine if this is still covered under warranty. Otherwise, I'll be machining them myself when the steering wheel column shakes become unbarable.

So if I have 23,000 miles on my car, had it a year, and never had the brakes serviced I should put on some cross-drilled rotors with some new brake pads?? I was planning on it anyways, just want to make sure..because I am having a grinding sensation on my passenger side when I drive at low speeds...I am figuring it is the brakes going...some please reply!
