As well as the Ridgeline. I have plans to source a set of newer (dual piston) front calipers when it is time or replace my front pads. The current pads are still the original units (108k miles/~25% left).
The rear pads on my Pilot wore incorrectly due to either sticky caliper guide pins or friction between the pad tabs and the caliper bracket plates. Either way I had to toss them (3 of them still had ~30% life left) and replace with new nissin units.
I highly suggest that everyone check their brakes and preform a nice wire brush/cleaning job on the pad tabs and caliper bracket plates (front and rear) to prevent poor/uneven pad wear.
It is also a good ideal to clean and lubricate the caliper guid pins to ensure smooth operation.
My front pads are currently worn at a slight angle. The twin piston calipers will help prevent that (as long as things are clean and slide as they are designed to).
