Front Pad/Rotor choice for 2008 CRV

Silly question. How do warranties work on wear items?

They're not supposed to care. They just hand you a new set if you have the old. Every once in awhile an employee on a crusade thinks this is "wrong" but it's fine by company policy -- contact the regional mgr if necessary.

In many cases you can buy a new set today and return the old set later for a refund. Verify first, though. This is actually how most commercial warranty is handled -- buy today, send the old part back with the driver and get a refund tomorrow

I asked the guy at the counter and he said just bring the pads with the box and they will give you a replacement no questions asked.

You don't need the box. They're supposed to keep the new box and put the old part in there. They tag it as warranty return.

This made me snort-laugh and I don't know why.

I really wonder how Akebono has such a polarizing effect. I had them on my Audi from the factory (still do in the rear) and think they are the biggest piece of crap ever made. Personally I don’t care about dusting. The have absolutely no feel to them when cold. Warmed up they seemed better, but still totally unpredictable. Have always ran ATEs in every VW I have owned since 1996 and My Porsche Cayman. Put ATEs on my Audi an instant 100% improvement and glorious brake dust like a proper German car should have. Even my wife noticed the improvement first time out. Yet others praise them.
