Looking for better front brake pads for a '22 Civic Si.

[nttran98]

It looks like EBC has pads available for the Si. I ordered a set of yellowstuff pads, I’ll update once I get them installed. I confirmed on buybrakes.com that these would fit a Accord Sport, which makes sense if the pads share a part number.

Here is the EBC link with my search:

And they still do not have anything for the regular folks

UPDATE 6/12: The EBC pads are out of stock, expected in 10 weeks (?). I ordered some Hawk DTC-30 rear pads from MAPerformance and some Powerstop Z23 pads (Z23-2115) since they were the highest temp front pads I could find in stock. I’ll update when I get them installed.

UPDATE #2: I went to a HPDE event yesterday, I had 5 half hour sessions and the upgraded brakes held up well. Good strong stopping through the whole session. As I got faster the brake system light came on about 10 minutes in, but I didn’t have any fade or long stops.
The warning light would go away after rolling through the pits for a minute or two (with the brakes smoking, I was getting plenty of heat into them). Dust and wear looks to be okay, front rotors are still smooth and no warping. Rears are slightly grooved because of the aggressive DTC-30 pads.

Thanks for the updates! Glad to hear the Powerstop front pads seem to hold up well to your trackday. At $60 a set that's a good option.

I assume these are the front pads you used?

Yes, these are the ones! I took a thickness measurement before the event, I’ll update what it was in a week or two when I have some time to clean up and measure again. I was happy with the performance, and they come with a complete hardware package too which was nice for $60 ($75 at Autozone)
