    id toss in raybestos too. to be honest, though. ive had good luck on all
    other cars with whatever the "lifetime" brake pad is. save the receipt,
    get new pads for as long as you own the car.
    honda only. mine was $220 at the dealer, but was plug and play. no
    stripping/crimping wires.

    never heard of lifetime brake pad, i'll look into that
    high thanks for response

    my dealer wants 274 which is close to price

    so my worst price for (front rotors, pads, h02s} is 485 the best is 128
    which is reason for post... 350 is alot of quality wiggle room ? i do not
    mind paying for quality, i do not want to overpay on the "probably ok" stuff

    thanks again

    In the future I plan to go with strictly Honda OEM. From my
    reading, the "lifetime" pads use material that is harder and
    so lasts longer, but also as a result shortens the life of
    the rotor. The cost of Honda OEM pads (around $40 online for
    my 91 Civic) is low enough that I think they're worth it.
    = heated oxygen sensor

    (1) From my reading the aftermarket O2 sensors can be
    persnickety; and (2) an OEM sensor might be had for a very
    competitive price at https://www.automedicsupply.com/ . At
    least, for my 91 Civic, it was a steal at about $45
    altogether. Very good service and shipping.

    P.S. my 91 Civic's OEM sensor is made by Nippon Denso, now
    called IIRC just Denso.

  12. I just put Akebono Ceramics on my '97 accord. Only a few thousand
    miles on them but they are quiet, low dusting and I was impressed with
    the quality of the pads and adhesive shims out of the box. Time will
    tell.

    Actually, the site I posted before lists the manufacturer as
    just "Denso." The packaging for my 91 Civic's sensor says
    just "Denso" on it. The history of Denso Corp. states that
    NipponDenso Co. became Denso Corp. in 1996:
