Looking for brake pad and rotor recommendations for a 2010 Honda Odyssey. I was planning to get Raybestos EHT3 but read other posts on here saying their quality has been poor recently.
Odyclub suggests Akebono pads and Centric rotors, but I can’t get the rotors from Rockauto or Amazon with fast enough shipping to have them by this weekend for a reasonable price.
I was looking at Akebono pads and Powerstop coated rotors, but am definitely open to other suggestions.
If I get Akebono pads should I get act or asp?
 
The Akebono ProAct pads and coated Raybestos rotors work well on Gen. 2 & 3 Odysseys. I haven't replaced brakes on a Gen. 4 Odyssey yet, but I'd suspect they would also work the same. Also have had good results with the Wagner ThermoQuiet ceramic pads on all Hondas.

Pads: EBC Ultimax2/Blackstuff
Rotors: Powerstop Geomet coated

Many Rock Auto parts come from New York, so if you're in the northeast, they should arrive by the end of the week :)

While Rock Auto doesn't sell EBC, there are other places to get EBC that have fast shipping too. If you still prefer to get your pads from Rock Auto, get Pagid Silver.

The Pagid pads come from the same warehouse as the Powerstop rotors.

Honda or EBC rotors paired with EBC Blackstuff or Akebono ASP pads
Based on recommendations here, my EBC coated rotors and UltraMax II pads (installed 2019) have been phenomenal on my Patriot. Mine initially were about equal to OEM(Akebono) performance, but after about 1,000 miles the better "bite" that I sought improved exponentially. Very happy customer here.

There seems to be multiple options (rotor sizes) for your Odyssey, so be careful.

One example (rotor size not confirmed): https://www.amazon.com/EBC-S1KF1032-Stage-1-Premium-Street/dp/B0084L4986

I'd get Autozone Duralast Gold ceramic pads... because it would be a free lifetime replacement for buying them last time. ;)

Are you hauling loads or maxed out with passengers so you need a severe duty pad with extra bite (at the cost of rotor wear) ?

Rotors, do you have severe rust issues? If so, coated, or if not, any major brand's upper tier part, Centric, Raybestos, Wagner, Bendix, etc. Is this weekend special? I mean if it could wait till now to ask, can it just wait till you get them or does it have a braking problem now? There's probably significant money to be saved, getting them from Amazon or Rock Auto.

Amazon, I'd expect they could get them to you by the weekend if you were to order sooner rather than later, depending on how far out in the boon docks you do or don't live. However, Rock Auto currently has some Wagners on closeout for a very attractive price if those would work:

Really pleased with Brembo UV coated rotors and Brembo NAO pads. Like them better than the Raybestos Element 3 parts or Akebono pads. Seem very high quality.

In my experience and opinion- avoid akebono.
 
My neighbor has a 2012 and he had Bosch put on. Seems to be fine. I have used them in the past on my Hyundai vehicles and they worked great. Low dust, no noise, good stopping power, long lasting. Been a while since I bought any, I think they are called "blue" now (semi-metallic) and quietcast for the ceramic. Rotors are also called quitecast.
