Just installed these on my 2014 Acura TSX and wow, the difference is night and day! Super quiet compared to my old squeaky pads. The pre-attached shims are a game-changer – no more messing with separate pieces.
Love that they included the synthetic lubricant (though one reviewer didn’t get theirs – yikes!). Saved me a trip to the auto store. The powder-coated backing plate gives me confidence these’ll last through Chicago winters.
BUT... had a weird issue where one of the hardware clips didn’t fit perfectly. Ended up reusing my old ones like another reviewer mentioned. Not a dealbreaker but annoying for a premium product.
Pro tip: Watch that 30k mile mark if you drive a Honda Accord – these might wear faster than expected based on multiple reviews. Still, at this price point with Bosch’s reputation, they’re my new go-to pads.
Final verdict? 4.5/5 – would be perfect if not for the minor fitment hiccup!
