Excellent Performance, Will Buy Again
I installed these in my 2003 Civic Si. Their performance is excellent, no fade and noticeably smoother and better brake performance over OEM brakes I had installed. I've had them installed for about two months now with virtually no dust accumulation. The slight noise I hear I believe is due to the EBC slotted/dimpled rotors I replaced the OEM rotors with. These pads are light years better than OEM or any Raybestos OE replacement.
Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, Amazon's price/prime shipping. I highly recommend them and would most definitely purchase again.

Questions & Answers
Question : Can I safely replace brake pads on an ABS system?
I have always changed my own brake pads but, this is my first car with ABS. Do I do anything different?
Answer:
Not to my knowledge. When the ABS system fails, operation just reverts to the standard brake action. The individual ABS wheel sensors are back out of the way, so there's not much risk in damaging them. So I just change the pads or shoes the way you normally do on non-ABS cars.

Question : How do I know whether I just need new brake pads or to replace other parts of the brakes?
How long should you wait to replace brake pads or other parts of the brake system?
Answer:
On most modern cars, there is a brake pad wear indicator that lights up on your dashboard. However you can do a visual inspection looking at the brake pads within their calipers; either through your rims if the gaps between the spokes are big enough, or you will have to remove the wheel and check the pads. If your pad is less than 4 millimeters thick, it’s time you think of getting new pads.As for your brake disks, if you feel the surface of the brake disk, you will see that an outer edge is growing cause the disk is wearing out. If this edge grows to about a millimeter thick, then you’ll have to change the disk. Drum brakes are the hardest to detect when they are worn out. The drum has to be disassembled to check the wear of both the drum and the pads. But drum disks, which are usually located on the rear wheels, wear off in less time than the front disk brakes. Wear and tear of brakes is dependant upon several variables, such as car weight, car average speed when brakes are used, how often you use your brakes, types of pads and friction surfaces of disks and drums, and the age for the mentioned frication surfaces.

Question : I was told that i need new rear rotors and brake pads and a brake system flush. Is the flush needed?
Also due to money problems at the moment i'm not sure i can afford to have this all done. Is it okay to just change the pads and the rotors later or perhaps change the rotors and the pads later? Or is getting it all done at the same time my only option. Please help i need it. Thank you.Oh yes i drive a 2000 chevy blazer 4 door 4wheel dr.
Answer:
The rotors will probably be glazed over so it's a good idea to have them turned when installing pads. Failure to do so will result in poorer braking and faster pad wear.Look at your brake fluid in the reservoir under the hood. If it's cloudy, it's good idea to have it flushed and replaced with new fluid. Dot 3 brake fluid absorbs water, discolors and rusts the interior of your brake lines and wheel cylinders.Getting it all done at the same time is your best and cheapest option.

Question : Bosch braking system different brake pads?
Hi, just a little question, a friend of mine has recently been looking at getting some brake pads for his car so he went to halfords and there were two options, Bosch and Lucas. I thought that these will have just been different brands of brake pads for his car but he seems to think that there is a different braking system called the bosch braking system and one called the lucas braking system. Can anyone clear this up and let me know if I was right in assuming they are just brands of brake pads for his car and it won't matter which ones he gets or if they are indeed two completely different brake pads for two completely different types braking systems?
Answer:
depending on the make and model of the car it could have a lucas or bosch braking system you also get bendix ,ATe, etc lots of different ones in fact,so your friend is probably right.The best way to get replacement brake pads is to take an old one with you.Hope this helps

Question : i had my brake pads changed bout 2 months ago now brakes wont stop seems spongy but brake system has been bled
i had my brake pads changed bout 2 months ago now brakes wont stop seems spongy but brake system has been bled
Answer:
First, I would take it back to the shop to fix. Sounds like they screwed up the calipers or installed the wrong pads, or maybe missing some shims.

Question : how can i tell what kind of brake system my 2000 jeep grand cherokee has.?
i need to change the brake pads in the front but when i called the auto parts store they asked me what brake system? ATE or Akebono i dont know aint that handy to just tell. can anyone give me any info its a 2000 JGC Laredo 6 cylinder.
Answer:
The ATE (Alfred Teves) are the OEM brakes pads, shoes and calipers on 1999 and later Grand Cherokees. There was a TSB on front brakes on certain Grand Cherokees that had issues with warping rotors causing vibration, excessive wear and noise.For those vehicles the front brake pads, rotors and calipers were replaced with Akebono parts. There are things to look for under the vehicle but the easiest thing to do is to go to your local dealer ask the service manager or parts counter to check and see if the parts were replaced, they will need your VIN number.They can also check to see if you have one of the models that had the defective parts although most were 1999 models. If they were not changed you have ATE.

Question : Do the brake pads in a four-wheel disc brake system wear out evenly?
Amazingly enough, at my age, this is the first car I've driven that didn't have drums in the back. So having four wheel disc is nice, and its brake repair I can do myself, but I was just wondering.
Answer:
Fronts are engineered to take on more of the braking so they typically wear out 30-50% quicker.

Question : How much would a new brake system, sans brake line and plus labor cost on a 2001 Dodge Neon?
The brake pads on a 2001 Dodge Neon were not replaced and caused damage to the brakes. I'm afraid of getting ripped off, so I'd like to know which parts of the brake system this would affect, how much they would cost to replace, plus labor.
Answer:
call your local autoparts place, ask for pads, rotor and caliper price,then tag on 80 bucks a hour for about 3 hours

Question : Does using the Anti-lock braking system wear out brake pads quicker?
Hi. The winter months have finally arrived where I live and when I drive on snow/ice, my wheels lock up and ABS kicks in. Is it bad on my brakes to use the Anti-lock feature all the time? And by all the time, I mean everytime I drive in snow/ice ABS kicks in at some point. If so, I'll just have to modify my driving habits so my wheels don't lock up as easily. Thanks so much for your help.
Answer:
I do not think your concern should lay at all with the fact that ABS may or may not wear out your brake pads quicker (it will not wear them out any quicker than a normal stop). Your concern should lay in the fact that you are probably overdriving the conditions. It is quite common around stop signs and stop lights for ABS to come on because other cars have melted the snow and made ice. Ultimately, your concern should be driving at a speed that gives you plenty of time to stop and steer if need be.

Question : 2001 pontiac grand am se brake system?
Replaced brake pads and calipers. Bleed brake system completely. When engine is off the brake pedel has pressure and is firm. When engine is running brakes go to floor, no brakes. Is there anything computer related? Also with no brakes the ABS light is not even on.
Answer:
with the engine off the pedal is hard and firm because the booster works off vaccum when the engine is running if the pedal goes to the floor its your master cylinder.Rebleed your brake system starting with the master cylinder then bleed the wheels starting with the right rear then the left rear then the right front then the left front . if all that dont work replace the m aster cylinder and rebleed entire system. be sure to bench bleed the master cylinder before installation.
