Hi all, just an update again. So I had no luck. The mech refinished the front pads with the QFM's and reapplied paste. This minimised the squeel but I ended up with a rust ring around the rotor where...

Just an update on this guys. Took it into Honda Care. Front rotors were glazed.

I believe my initial mechanic did not install the rotors/brakes properly. Honda Care replaced the rotors to the same...

Hi guys, will be taking it to Honda Care at Sunmner Park to look at. Could be a simple grease issue, could be something else...

Hey Fred and Martin. I think both sets are squeeling. At first, the front right will grab, then the squeeling will be offset to the front left or the rears. I can't seem to isolate to one pad, even...

Hi all, just an update on this. I've had horrible squealing and hissing from HPX pads up front and Remsa pads on the rear. GSL have commented that pads shouldn't do this. Mechanic thinks the pads are...

Had a mixup with GSL on rears the computer specified didn't fit. They swapped them over for nemsa pads.

QFM HPX, size mixup on rears so received Remsa pads. Will replace rears at next service. Mech reckons there is plenty of meat on rears, but shit, they are awful. All they do is squeek. The HPX pads...

Thanks heaps guys. Car is running great.

I went with the following:
Honda Oil Filter (OEM blue ones)
Penrite HRP5-W40
Penrite HPSO
Penrite ATF-FS
Ryco Oil Filter

Car loves to get its VTEC...

Hi all, my 2009 Accords 72 Month/120K service is coming up. I've only done 50K Km's so I'm going by time. I'm looking to replace OEM pads and rotors with this one too as they're squealing as...

When did you last change them Tai? At 30?
If so, did you do rotors/brake flush aswell?

Hey lads :wave:

My rears are up for a change quite soon. Dealer still thinks they're fine despite all the squeeling. How good are they. Anyway. I think since we're unlikely to see the same results...

Both afaik, I was under the assumption they both came in the one package. More interested in the LED's indicators per say.

Were you referring to these in your earlier posts Rudy?...

Might just point out the same 6 month servicing interval is a bit of a scam really by Honda Australia. The same model in its native country of construction requires double the time, similar to many...

Did you have any luck holmie?

Unlike other upgrades this one seems reasonably tasteful. Was wondering if anyone had an idea where I could purchase this.

Kind Regards, :wave:

Excellent Post. Also owner of the 40th anniversary. Am at ~11k and have owned the car for a little over a year.

The car has been great. Main concerns are issues with squeaky brakes. See the...

I'm not sure if this I've written this before, but afaik thats well and truley the case. Again, I think it's a case by case basis and you'll be lucky to get them replaced. Basically the only place on...

Definitely seems like a case by case basis. I was quoted $190 for machining my squeaky brakes at 9,000 km. Highly doubt my dealer will oblige.

Did your dealer specify the pre-30k message? Might be...

I've run sets of 98 Octane, 95 and 91. Never touched ethanol despite the fact the car is designed for it. Honestly, 95 or 91. Both yielded minimal differences but the 95 felt more gutsy. Depends on...

Hey guys, thanks for the support and advice. I ultimately never chased it up or went back to the dealer, decided it was simply not worth the time and the guys over are Westpoint Honda are a complete...

I've got the 40th Anniversary. Can't complain about the comfort of the seats or headrest. They sometimes feel a bit unsupportive but they're fine for me. Agree with ventilation. On a 20C day, the car...

Yep on my it's the same. Especially when you're at the traffic lights and the air-con is on. Shake is primarily felt through the steering wheel. The whole car seems a lot louder with the aircon,...

Rear from reports.

Seems expensive. Have you tried calling other dealers and asking to beat the price? Just a matter of calling around I think.

Where are you based?

I'd be careful with that one. It is a possibility. Have you asked your dealer how much standard genuine Honda Lips are? I'm looking to get one myself.
