When I did my breaks, I didn't go the cheap route. Trust me when it comes to your life you don't wanna go cheap. Anyways, my rotors were warped and I had to get new ones. So I decided to get brembo drilled and slotted rotors along with there brake pads. Not going to bullshit I haven't had to change them in 3 almost 4 years! I'm not on my breaks a lot either. Maybe that's why. But I know its getting to the point where I need to again. And the pads from brembo should work on your discs if I'm not mistaken.

id check out something from stop tech, or some hawk pads. They have a great reputation and good stopping power.

I downgraded my brakes to some NAPA ceramics. Way less brake dust now rofl, i was tired of cleaning my brakes.

The civic is on the cheap POS autozone pads, they are cheap, everyone buys them, they are popular, you would hear SOMEONE having an issue if they were bad. I don't mind them! :)

And you went to auto zone, I didn't mind spending a little more for something I trust. The ones I got are super quite ceramic pads. Less brake dust and quieter when stopping.

I need to do a lot to my car that I just don't wanna. Wash it, buff it, wax it. I just don't wanna do it.
