Almost everything was ordered from Japan here.

At the time of ordering, Honda brake pads were unavailable from any store I checked, including European and Japanese shops, and official Honda dealerships. Judging by appearance, markings, and weight, the ATE pads purchased (here and here) look identical to the original Honda pads previously installed on my vehicle.

After two years, the brake fluid was replaced (purchased here).

During repairs, brake calipers were cleaned, sandblasted, and then painted in a “graphite” color. Their poor initial condition was due to lack of service for at least 95,536 kilometers. The goal was to achieve a finish close to the original factory appearance.
