Starting to gather parts to do a pad and rotor swap this spring/summer. Was going to go straight oem as they performed admirably mileage wise. Of course I started looking at some different pads. Seems akebono doesn't make a front set can only source rears. Was looking at Hawk Performance Ceramic pads. Seeing if anyone has tried them?

Front rotors listed 2 different size diameters 10.3 and 11.1 for the CRZ. Thinking these two are correct. Hoping..

11.1" on the 2016. Everything else is 10.3" on the front.

Looks like you have a 2016? You could swap brake caliper brackets from a Civic SI or Acura TSX and probably find a better pad selection.

I do have a 2016. I'll check out the threads on that.

TSX would be my vote. It is an older pad shape shared with the S2000 and Integra Type R and RSX S. Lot more aftermarket support for that pad shape.

Bracket is a little more blocky and ugly but it fits and has good wheel clearance.

I did a bit of digging on this a while ago just never posted findings due to being busy all the time and experimenting with other options.

2016s share front pad backing plates with 10th generation turbo non-SI Civics (SI uses 9th gen facelifted Accord Touring/Sport/Sport SE calipers and rotors, cheap upgrade maybe?) and rear pads with RU5/RU6 HR-Vs.

Here's StopTech/Centric's brake pad offerings as an example with cross compatibility at the very bottom of the description. There are of course specifications in the listings so you can do further comparison with other pads if you choose to do so.

As for rotors... The fronts have a fairly broad selection throughout the Honda/Acura parts bin. Rears we're out of luck on it seems with options.
