Ceramic Brakes? or just brakes...
2003 Accord 4dr EX 4cyl
I want to replace my brakes. They have been resurfaced twice so I don't know how much more life they have in them. I want to replace all of it but have no idea where to start or what parts I will be needing. I like to try and do things myself so if someone can point me in the right direction on how to do this and where to buy the parts I would appreciate it.

RE: Ceramic Brakes? or just brakes...
Resurfaced twice would tell me theyre close to the end of their life... but they have a minimum thickness stamped on them somewhere.
What you would need to replace all the rotors and pads:
- 2 front rotors
- 1 set of front pads
- 2 rear rotors
- 1 set of rear pads
I got Hawk HPS pads for about $55/axle, theyre a little better than OEM quality. I would recommend Brembo blank rotors or OEM rotors, but the rotors at any parts store will work fine.

Might as well step up to some stainless steel braided brake lines while you have everything apart.
