I need brake upgrades for a 2012 Honda pilot. The local twisty road is quite hilly and I can be hard enough on the brakes to get fade from the OE brakes. They seem to have shit themselves after a recent drive. I asked for pad recommendations and was told Hawk Performance, EBC Bluestuff, Porterfield r4-s, or akebono euro are good options. I was unable to find those for my car. If any internet stranger could find some in a size that fits, that would be awesome, but I would also be open to other suggestions. I also would like fluid and rotor recommendations. I don’t want drilled rotors, would consider slotted. I’m hoping to not dump tons of cash on this, as I’m trying to save for a better car as the long term plan. Thanks in advance!
Why not put it into a lower gear whether it’s sport mode or just manually shifting into one? Mountains in my part of the world are rather hard on brakes too if you’re just riding around in a high gear.
I use low gears. The issue is it’s also the fun road with corners and such.
Why not take it a little easy until you can get the car you want for the roads then? The pilot is a heavier car and you are asking a lot for brakes to perform in those conditions even with upgrades. Good things come to those that practice temperance
