Does anyone have suggestions on where to purchase pads and rotors for my 2008 RDX?
Local Dealers are pretty pricey.
Just came up on 28000 miles and am getting a grind on drivers side when stopping hard.
Also seems to have a little fade now as well as slight vibration when stopping from well uh high speeds
Pads still have a bit more material left in them but I don't want to take any chances.
Second question is there a better pad and rotor combo for not a huge amount of coin for the aggressive street driver?

Thanks

Thanks R*D*X*, looks like there are not a lot of options for rotors. I tried purchasing EBC slotted rotors but they were not in stock. Plus I don't trust drilled or slotted rotors as I have seen aftermarket ones crack (albeit on Corvettes not on the RDX).
I did not want OEM because the Rotors did not last as long as they should have!
So I bought Centric 120.40073 Cryo rotors and Centric 105.10890 ceramic pads.
Hopefully they will be a bit better than stock.

I have the same issues, with 34K. I think this is way too soon for pad, and rotor issues. I am going to the dealer on Friday, and I will not let them charge me full price if there is an issue which there should not be at 34K!

Centric rotors and green stuff pads. Good combo. Significant improvement at a reasonable cost. I just ordered stainless steel brake lines so I'll be throwin those on the RDX soon. I"ll let you know how that goes.
