Front & Rear Brake Kit for 2016-2017 Honda Accord - Drilled Slotted

In this review the Max Advanced Brakes front and rear kit is evaluated as a direct replacement option for 2016 and 2017 Honda Accord Sport, Touring, SE and Special Edition models. The bottom line: this kit's single biggest selling point is its combination of slotted and drilled black e-coated rotors plus advanced carbon ceramic pads that aim to deliver cooler, quieter, and cleaner braking under demanding conditions like towing or frequent highway driving. For buyers who want upgraded stopping power and corrosion resistance without custom fitting, this kit is worth considering.

Key Features

• Black e-coated slotted and drilled rotors: provide improved cooling and corrosion resistance for longer rotor life in wet or salty conditions.
• Advanced carbon ceramic pads: offer fade-resistant, responsive stopping power while minimizing dust and noise for cleaner wheels and quieter operation.
• Complete front and rear kit: includes 2 front rotors, 2 rear rotors and 2 sets of pads so both axles are refreshed at once for balanced braking performance.
• Installation hardware included: stainless-steel hardware, high-temperature lubricant and gloves are supplied to simplify replacement and reduce trips to the parts store.
• Designed for versatile driving: engineered to perform in city traffic, commuting, highway use, towing and light hauling for drivers needing consistent results across conditions.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at Accord owners who want an OE-style replacement with upgraded features: people who tow occasionally, carry heavier loads, drive in mixed weather, or simply want rotors that resist rust and pads that stay quiet and low-dust. The combination of slotted/drilled rotors and carbon ceramic pads is useful for drivers who value both performance and wheel cleanliness.

Drivers looking for extreme track-focused components, lightweight racing rotors, or a different pad compound tuned exclusively for performance driving should look elsewhere. This kit balances everyday durability and enhanced braking rather than race-only performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Improved cooling and corrosion resistance from black e-coated, slotted and drilled rotors.
• Carbon ceramic pads reduce dust and deliver smooth, fade-resistant stopping power in mixed conditions.
• Complete kit with hardware and lubricant makes installation more straightforward and convenient.
• Versatile performance suitable for commuting, highway travel, towing and hauling scenarios.

Cons

• Drilled and slotted rotors can be more aggressive than plain rotors and may not be necessary for purely calm, low-load city driving.
• Not marketed as a track-specific or ultra-high-performance racing upgrade, so serious track drivers may prefer specialized alternatives.
