Brake setup????

I have an 05 Mdx and it is in need of brakes. What setup do you guys have? I've changed the brakes on this thing about 2 times since I've owned in (4years) and I've never really been impressed with them. I was thinking Brembo pads and blanks. But open to suggestions.

Thanks and sorry in advance. I searched but did not find anything. Could be because I'm on my Cell.

first, traction is handled by the tires. you can stop quicker by having a good set of tires.
2nd, I dont even think your car has brembos, which means, you wont be able to use brembo pads and rotors....
third, traction is handled by tires!!!!!!!!!!!!

BBK, or Big Brake Kits like the Brembo brand, dont necessarily stop quicker any way....
A BBK, or a Big Brake kit like the Brembo brand has advantages in heat dissipation.
a larger rotor is used to help dissipate heat. you also have more pistons in a big brake caliper. which you dont have...

Get a more aggressive pad compound and get a better quality rotor. New brake fluid is a must every 2-3 years!

Highly recommend Racing Brake rotors and pads or Carbotech pads
