2018 Honda Clarity Brake Pads and Rotors

The decision to replace both brake pads and rotors together for a 2018 Honda Clarity can deliver better stopping performance, even wear, and longer service life than fitting new pads to worn rotors. At Larry H. Miller Honda Boise our approach is to inspect both components thoroughly — measuring rotor thickness and checking for runout, scoring, or heat damage — before recommending resurfacing or replacement. When rotors are below Honda specifications or show uneven wear, pairing new OEM pads with new rotors prevents premature pad glazing and pulsing during braking, which improves driver confidence and reduces the likelihood of repeat service. Our factory-trained technicians use Honda-approved parts and torque procedures, and we perform controlled bedding procedures to ensure consistent friction performance. We also explain the cost-benefit: a combined service may be slightly higher up front, but it delivers immediate safety improvements and long-term savings by extending component life and reducing additional labor events.
