As far as pads go ? Did you install the rotors urself ? Was it hard ? What tools did u use ? If you got them installed how much did it cost you ? Well thanks for your info.

yeah, imma have to agree with everyone here about autozone. They arent very good pads at all dude. I got a set of lifetime pads, and they create retarded amounts of brake dust. Plus, if you try to stop too fast you WILL (not maybe) have break failure after about 3 seconds. I would adive you to buy anything but autozone pads because they are very unsafe.

What year is your Accord?

98-present is the rotor over hub design so it's so easy you shouldn't pay anyone to do it. I replaced mine with Brembo OEM replacements and OEM pads. Cost me $100 for the parts (front only).

For the people that had bad experiences with Autozone brake pads, I would like to know how much you paid for the pads and what brand it was. Autozone sell different brand brake pads ranging from $10 to $50. I bought the PFC-CARBON-METALIC pads (about $40) and I they work just fine.

all you gotta do is go to your local honda dealer and get ceramic pads they will cost you a little more but it is worth it
