I am looking for OEM quality brake pads for a 01 4 wheel disc accord.
I have not seen a recommendation for OEM replacement pads. Should I just buy honda factory pads. Most of my driving is around town.

I have Napa, advancedauto, and autozone close by. Can I get a quality brake pads at one of these stores?

 

I've used Autozone pads for several of my cars w/o any problems. No doubt OEM pads are good. Check for online sources if you have time and you may find some good deals on OEM pads.

good luck

 

NAPA is always more expensive.
My uncle works at an auto shop and has told me, only go to Napa if you need a part thats extremely difficult to get to or replace. In other words, they are more expensive but better quality.

 

NAPA sucks, they are overly expensive and thier parts arent any better than what you can get anywhere else. I work at Advance and I use the Wearever semi metallics with no issue, but any OE pad will do you just fine, just make sure you are buying the right pad material that your car calls for.

 

I've gone the aftermarket route in this area with not so good results. Usually they end up grinding at the end of a medium to hard stop. I switched back to stock Honda and have NEVER had that happen again. It is one place IMO to spend a little more money and get the good stuff.
