Bought from Amazon and installed with a set of Akebono ACT-787 ProACT ceramic pads on a 2012 Accord EXL. Works fine for 8 months and about 12k miles the steering wheel vibrates when braking at highway speed, two months later at 15k miles the shaking got worse to a point that driving the car was not pleasant and feel safe. I thought the rotor most likely warped.
This was the first aftermarket rotors and pads I ever used for the past 30 years. The original rotors on the Accord warped at 35k I was disappointed as I usually replacing rotors at 90-100k at second pads replacement and that was the reason I tried Bosch, however it was even more disappointed they ONLY last for 15k. I need to replace the rotors and decided going back for Honda rotors and pads.
Ordered the parts by mail received them yesterday and worked on it this morning. After removing the rotors, I was SHOCK to found both the rotors has a crack across the braking surface, one rotor cracked on the front and the other cracked on both front and rear surfaces. Last for only 15k and cracked? What an inferior quality and low grade material parts. I swear no more aftermarket parts!
Today’s auto parts are not lasting as in the past no matter OEM or after aftermarket, all these greedy businessmen use inferior and low grade materials in their products and try every possible ways to squeeze every single penny for profits. What a shame!
BTW the Akebone pad was performed pretty good but it was very dusty and made the wheels very dirty.
