I'm order front CROSSDRILLED & SLOTTED (BLACK) last week and should be getting them this week. PREMIUM DIMPLED & SLOTTED (BLACK) for the back. plus EBC yellow pads for the front and the back.

The performance rotor, does it last longer than stock or is it the same but more braking power?

Most of the braking action is accomplished via the front rotors so usually people only upgrade the fronts and more technology is implemented in them as a result.

I don't think that Brembo has an application for the RDX, but you can get a superb system from ROTORA for the RDX, its a little pricey at $2400.00.

Just changing the rotors to crossdrilled etc wont do as much for you as changing the pads will, especially changing to the EBC yellow. Those pads on the stock rotors work wonders for the braking!

Thanks wspy. i might switch to performance rotor once my stock started to warp. lol crossdrilled rotors looks better compare to stock.
