I have a 2012 Honda Accord LX-P with 65k and this is my first brake maintenance.
I ordered the akebono act914a and 1336a which come with new clips and springs.
Usually have routine maintenance completed at the dealer. They indicated brakes need replaced soon (5mm front and 4mm rear) and said the rotors are in good shape. This was at the last oil change in January 2019. The pads are thinner now.
Would it still be a good idea to change the rotors?
I've felt pulsation or shudder in the steering Wheel and and brake pedal when I have to brake hard on the interstate. I really noticed it when doing 80-85 on the highway and encountering slow traffic where I had to brake fast.
Don't typically drive that way though
I don't notice any pulsation when braking hard in town around 45 and below.
I'm Assuming new rotors would help eliminate pulsation or shudder in pedal and wheel at high speeds ?
Or is that a result of the OEM pads nearing end of life and the brake pad residue on the current rotors ?
Everything is OEM with 65k at the moment
