Front & Rear Brake Kit Compatible with 2012-2016 Honda CR-V - Ceramic

In this review the focus is on a complete front and rear brake kit designed for 2012-2016 Honda CR-V AWD models. The bottom line: this kit is best for owners who want a full, do-it-yourself replacement that matches OE specifications and emphasizes quieter braking and reduced dust. It includes front and rear rotors plus pads and the necessary clips, so the single biggest reason to buy is the convenience of receiving a matched rotor and pad set that is balanced at the factory and treated to resist corrosion.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes 2 front rotors, 2 rear rotors, 4 front pads, 4 rear pads and all required clips so installers get everything needed for a axle-to-axle replacement.
• OE fitment: Rotor and pad part numbers align with OE-style references (R-31455 front, R-31372 rear, P-1521 front pads, P-1086 rear pads) to help ensure a correct fit for compatible CR-V AWD models.
• Ceramic pads: Mainly ceramic construction aims to lower brake dust and provide wear and fade resistance for cleaner wheels and consistent stopping.
• Balanced rotors: Each rotor is factory balanced to reduce vibration and promote smoother braking feel after installation.
• Corrosion resistance: Galvanized rotor surfaces are treated to resist rust and maintain appearance and durability over time.
• Noise control features: Chamfered pad edges and included spring clips help secure pad fit and reduce rattles and unwanted noise when installed correctly.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at DIY mechanics and independent shops replacing the entire brake set on 2012-2016 Honda CR-V AWD vehicles who want matched rotors and pads in a single purchase. It suits owners who prioritize lower dust and a rotor treated for corrosion over purely budget replacement components.

It is less suited for owners who need specialty performance rotors (slotted or drilled) or those who prefer organic or semi-metallic pad compounds for aggressive track use. Also, buyers should be prepared to follow the installation notice to clean the mounting shaft before fitting to avoid fitment noise.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete set with rotors, pads, and clips simplifies a full brake replacement job.
• Ceramic pads produce less dust and offer good wear and fade resistance for street driving.
• Galvanized, balanced rotors help reduce rust and vibration after installation.
• Includes OE-referenced part numbers for easier verification of fitment to compatible models.

Cons

• Noise feedback is mixed among users, so some vehicles may require additional bedding or anti-squeal measures to eliminate squeak.
• Not designed as a high-performance race kit; buyers seeking track-oriented braking may want different compounds or rotor designs.
