I want to replace the disks and pads on my 2004 Accord. I get the appeal of sticking with OEM, which in this case would be refurbished disks and brand-new pads. However, would it hurt to try a reputable aftermarket brand?

Some Mustangs for your time.

nope. wouldnt hurt at all.

fact: biker when changing pads VERY rarely go to OEM. the VAST majority of us go to EBC HH pads.

as long as its not some shitty chinese knock off, you will be fine.

When I did my crown Vic I used raybestos and didn’t seem to have any issues granted I sold the car like 10,000 miles later so I didn’t have to much time on them

Wagner Thermoquiet and Akebono ProACT are good quality OE replacement pads.

The Centric Premium is a well-regarded rotor, and even has a black coating to deter rust.

I’ll co-sign on the Centric rotors. I didn’t have any complaints about the pads either.

No, it will not hurt at all. Akebono, Nissin, and Brembo all make quality OEM replacements.

Centric makes a bunch of OEM brake parts already. Its what I went with on my WRX and I am very pleased so far.

What ever is cost/value efficient. IIRC you’re trying to sell this thing soon?

Get whatever you want so long as they aren’t from Autozone, Advanced, etc. Their pads with warranties are hard compounds that sacrifice braking in the name of long life.

I think you’re right, possibly Akebono as well.

To add to what others have already mentioned; pagid, jurid, textar, and some others with weird names like that are OE suppliers for a lot of manufacturers as well. Just don’t go for the super cheap economy parts. I’ve had excellent experience with akebono personally and tend to stick with them for aftermarket needs. Don’t cheap out on rotors either, the cheap ones tend to be made of poor material with rough cuts that rust and squeal way too easily.
