#148 of 198 Re: Regarding brakes on 2008 Accord [accord2008] by cmiles97 Sep 09, 2009 (1:59 pm)
Replying to: accord2008 (Sep 09, 2009 10:48 am) Add me to the list. 2008 Accord LX 29,985 rear brake pads had to be replaced. The wifes 2007 Accord VP with rear drums brakes which I hated but the price was great for the car, has 37,000 miles..no problems.   Honda & Toyota can not rest on their past history of reliability. If I have to replace the rear pad every 30,000 miles or so, it will steer me to another car. This is the kind of stuff that made go away from Chevy!

Replying to: cmiles97 (Sep 09, 2009 1:59 pm) You guys are lucky, there are many 08 Accord owners who were under 20k miles, when the rear pads needed to be replaced. Yes, drum brake shoes will last much longer, than rear pads. With rear drums though, the front is doing most of the work, and you will have much more nose dive when braking. I wish frequent brake pad changes were the only thing wrong with my Chevy. The 08 Accord is much larger/heavier than previous Accords, and will wear the pad material quicker, simple as that. If you want the pads to last longer, you might want to try some aftermarket semi-matalic or ceramic pads.

Replying to: accord2008 (Sep 09, 2009 10:48 am) I contacted Honda Canada concerning having to pay for rear brake pads and they are going to give me a credit for my expenses( approximately $80) Yes brakes are a wear and tear item, however, all cars with rear disk brakes are not having this problem, must be a design flaw

Hello all,   Is it possible to install disc brakes on the rear of a 92 Honda Accord 4 dr. sendan LX. What type of parts would I need and how difficult is it to install. My car has drum brakes on the rear. Disc on the front. Thanks, 94shadow Replies to this message: elroy5 (Sep 11, 2009 9:26 pm)

Replying to: 94shadow (Sep 11, 2009 4:24 pm) Yes, my 92 EX had rear disk brakes, and ABS (which saved me a couple times). You would need rotors, calipers, and probably different emergency brake cable hookups and hoses. If you could find an old EX in a junkyard, you could get the parts cheap.

Thanks a lot elroy5. I'll check around on the website and junkyards. Here in Hawaii, we have just a few junkyards and they charge a hand and leg for the used old parts. I'll start looking on ebay first. Oh! by the way, what does the ABS look like. Since I hav'nt owned a car with an ABS system. It's good to have but, i'll just go without it if it is possible. Thanks for all the help in the past with my automatic transmission. I know quite a bit about A/T and how it works. 94shadow Replies to this message: elroy5 (Sep 13, 2009 5:02 pm) elliott2 (Nov 08, 2009 4:32 am) accordguy0325 (Nov 08, 2009 7:16 pm) viet (Nov 09, 2009 11:03 pm) hackattack5 (Nov 10, 2009 4:20 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: deidt (Sep 12, 2009 7:47 am) Its not something that's ever been "fixed" for me. Its not a problem, really. I consider it just part of the normal operation, sort of like the ABS buzz at 4MPH after each start up. My dad's 03 and 05s did this too. No brake problems to speak of whatsoever; I have 51k miles on all 4 original pads, with plenty of life left.

Replying to: 94shadow (Sep 13, 2009 11:19 am) The ABS conversion would be difficult. There are a wide range of parts (sensors wire harnesses, etc.) that would have to be changed/installed. It would be much easier, to just do the disk brake swap, and be satisfied with that. Hope you get what you want.
