Upgraded Brake Pads?

Does any company sell an upgraded brake pad for the 2009 FIT?

I see listings for the 07-08 FITs, but none for the 09. Are pads interchangeable from GD to GE? If not, anyone know a cross to other Honda cars that might fit the GE?

Take off one of your front wheel, see if u see a code saying 16CL14VN on the front brake caliper? If that's the case it's the same brakes as 06-07 model. If it says 17CL14VN then those are 94-01 integra GS/LS/GSR front calipers. I don't think the GE is using anything bigger than that?

Using the information provided by spoonek4 (thanks! ), I checked the calipers and lo and behold the GE uses the same calipers as the 07-08s.

Dropped some upgraded pads into the 09 from the 07 which I had removed and it went in without any problems. Bedded the pads and the brakes feel much improved.

When my front pads go, I'll be purchasing Hawk performance pads. GD and GE Fits use the same pad, so look up 2008 Honda Fit and they'll list what's available.

Hawk Performance: Brake Parts Search

I like the "performance street" pads, P/N HB418F.646.

Hi!


I was looking for info about the rear pads. Using the same way, I've got the code 7CLP13S on the rear calipers. Are them the same as the 2008 FIT?

What pads should i look for?

Just replaced the pads last week, next time it will be rotors and pads. Do we have performance parts for our Fit without looking for racing use? Here in Italy Brembo still avoids the GE on their performance catalogue and I really don't want to place in Ferodo's...
