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!


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
