Hello Everyone,
I need to change drum brakes on my 2012 Honda Fit Sport. Is there a good brand out there that can give me at least 50k miles usage. The vehicle has 140k and is on original drum brakes but I know it does need replacement from the inspection while changing fluid 4 years ago.
I have Amazon and see that ACDelco 17913B Professional Bonded fits and is $35, which is almost twice as expensive as some other brands, but this ACDelco unit doesn’t have many reviews and rating is low. Any good recommendation? Driving habit is easy going as evidenece by the ability to get 140k on original set that still have some life in it.
Also, is Mobil 1 synthetic brake fluid good? I don’t have a lot of tools to work on things anymore so my friend is helping me so I rather lay extra for parts that last long so I wouldn’t have to replace them often purely from convenience and overall cost. As we all work from home now, I may not need to replace them again in 10+ years and likely 15 years so somethin that cost $40 that can last that long is better than $30 and only last 5 years. The next time these will get replace we all be having flying cars so drum brakes will likely be expensive then.
And covers look good so do I need to replace them or just continue to use the OEM covers? If one can provide link to either Amazon or RockAuto of good drum brake for this vehicle, I would really appreciate it.
Attached is the two I found on Amazon and the much cheaper ones has much better rating.
