Rear Brake Kit for 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey and 1995 Acura Legend

Our review finds the Max Advanced Brakes rear brake kit is a practical, value-minded upgrade for owners of 1995 Acura Legend, 1996-1998 RL, and 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey models. In this review the biggest reason to consider this kit is the combination of cross drilled rotors and carbon ceramic pads, which together deliver improved heat control and consistent stopping power for everyday city driving and occasional light hauling. The package arrives complete with hardware and is aimed at drivers who want a cleaner look and quieter braking without major expense or modification.

Key Features

• Cross drilled rotors: improve heat dissipation to help maintain braking performance during repeated stops in city traffic.
• Carbon ceramic brake pads: provide strong fade resistance and consistent stopping power for commute and light-duty use.
• Low dust formula: reduces wheel contamination so wheels stay cleaner between washes.
• Dual-layer rubberized shims: cut down on vibration and brake noise for a quieter driving experience.
• Complete rear kit: includes two rotors, one set of ceramic pads and required hardware for a straightforward replacement.
• Sporty appearance: cross-drilled finish gives a high-tech, styled look after break-in for drivers who care about aesthetics.

Who It's For

This kit is best for everyday drivers of the specified 1995-1998 Honda Odyssey and 1995 Acura Legend/1996-1998 RL who want a durable, low-dust brake solution that improves heat control during stop-and-go city use. The mix of ceramic pads and drilled rotors suits commuters, families, and those doing light-duty hauling who value quieter, cleaner brakes without an OEM price tag.

Drivers who need heavy towing capability, track-focused performance, or OEM-certified fleet replacements should look elsewhere; this kit targets style-conscious, daily-use applications rather than heavy commercial or motorsport duty.
