id toss in raybestos too. to be honest, though. ive had good luck on all
other cars with whatever the "lifetime" brake pad is. save the receipt,
get new pads for as long as you own the car.

high thanks for response

my dealer wants 274 which is close to price

so my worst price for (front rotors, pads, h02s} is 485 the best is 128
which is reason for post... 350 is alot of quality wiggle room ? i do not
mind paying for quality, i do not want to overpay on the "probably ok" stuff

thanks again

Dunno.

In the future I plan to go with strictly Honda OEM. From my
reading, the "lifetime" pads use material that is harder and
so lasts longer, but also as a result shortens the life of
the rotor. The cost of Honda OEM pads (around $40 online for
my 91 Civic) is low enough that I think they're worth it.

= heated oxygen sensor

(1) From my reading the aftermarket O2 sensors can be
persnickety; and (2) an OEM sensor might be had for a very
competitive price at https://www.automedicsupply.com/ . At
least, for my 91 Civic, it was a steal at about $45
altogether. Very good service and shipping.

P.S. my 91 Civic's OEM sensor is made by Nippon Denso, now
called IIRC just Denso.

Actually, the site I posted before lists the manufacturer as
just "Denso." The packaging for my 91 Civic's sensor says
just "Denso" on it. The history of Denso Corp. states that
NipponDenso Co. became Denso Corp. in 1996:

ND *IS* Denso now!

Wish they'd quit changing their name.

The cheaper the rotors, the worse the steel. You pays your money and you
takes your chances.

The cheap Chinese is the worst. I've seen big potholes flaked off the
friction surfaces of one year-old rotors. Makes the most horrendous
vibration.

Brembo is supposed to be good. Never used them, though.




> Brake pads :: Honda,



The Honda-branded ones are probably Sumitomo (it will say on the back).
Honda also uses Akebono and Nissin depending on the application.

Nissin is now owned by Ferodo.




> Nisin Prem,


If you're referring to NISSIN, Nissin is an OEM to Honda. It's possible the
"premium" pads you list are a similar composition to OEM.



> Akebono,



At least some Accord calipers are Akebono.



> Nisin Silver,



If it were me, I'd go with Nissin and get the most expensive ones, guessing
they're probably closest to OEM.

I think what was causing my confusion here is Denso's penchant for putting
their "ND" logo on everything. That has not changed since I can ever
remember. For some reason I started thinking the company name itself was
ND.

Oops.

My original, 1991 oxygen sensor was stamped ND. The new,
Denso one (purchased in 2004) was not.

Not to nitpick too much, but aren't rotors made of cast iron?
