I'm not sure I understand your answer. Are you saying that they are an upgrade to the originals?

OP's profile shows he has an 07 RDX and TRQLESS has an 08 (AWD).

Note that the E-Bay seller says this kit is for FWD RDX only. Might want to ask him what that's all about before ordering.

I'm thinking ebc blanks and red stuff. I don't believe the slotted and drilled works just for daily driving. If I was able to afford a more spirited driving style then I would get slotted.

Have a look at Acura part numbers.

The 07/08 AWD uses a different front rotor than the 12 FWD, although the pads and calipers are the same. Also the AWD and FWD use different rear calipers, although the rotors are the same.

Looking at 12 AWD vs 12 FWD, the front rotors are the same, although the rear calipers are different.

Some pads, rotors and calipers may be interchangeable on model years and drive trains and others may not. Perhaps a good Acura parts guy could help with that.

The E-Bay seller says his parts fit FWD only. They might fit both AWD and FWD, but have different braking characteristics. Changing brake characteristics at one end of the car, upsets the brake balance.

I got a set on my rdx and it is a good upgrade from stock.
Pair it up with some s/s brake lines and you are good to go.
