Need Some Input: Brembo Sport Drilled with Akebono Pads
I'm looking to install Brembo Drilled Rotors just in the front (to save some money) and Akebono Ceramic Pads in the Front and Rear. Has Anyone used this combo before and what do you think of keeping the Rears Stock for now. Also, Can anyone recommend a site to get these, because i was going to use tirerack however just learned that they only have the Rear Drilled Brembos. I'm having a hard time finding them now, Do they even make them for my car? I have a 98 Cl 3.0 Thanks, any input is much appreciated!

ENGAGE MY VTEC BABY!!!!!!
yes they do make them,. but dont use akibono pads with drilled or slotted they make TOO much noise,
i have a hookup i know in so cal i can get 300 shipped for front and rear pads and rotors cross drilled and slotted and axxis organic pads are the way to go
ive tried aem, hawk high performance pads, akibono, raybestos ceramic pads, raybestos sts pads, axxis metal masters and now i have axxis organic pads
they ar the best, all the others listed have given me noise, the worst was the akibono
go with the axxis organic pads
hit me up on aol im @ jgiguere17 and i can see if i can get a set for u front and rear

Isn't Brembo what the A-Spec project guys are using on the new RL? That is real sweat, why would they put something on a car like that, if it would break. Money maker I guess? peace, Love and Acura

the ONLY thing a drilled or slotted rotor will do is prevent brake fade and help during wet braking....i highly doubt anyone has experience brake fade on the street

with stereo equipment, and lots of 60-0 stops (crappy highway traffic) it is possibe to have the brakes fade on the street.

The Drilled were solely for looks. My Rims are pretty open and you can see much of my Rotor, which is why I was interested in it, and also the fact that they were usually talked up quite a bit on this site, but not quite the case anymore. I've always heard the slotted cut into your breakpads, which is why I was originally staying away. But anways, I'm keeping it OEM, because they need to be changed and I have no time to order anything from all the sketchy websites out there. Thanks for all your inputs.
