Brake upgrade
I'm in need of new brakes, so naturally I'd like to upgrade...
Just looking to purchase new rotors (probably either Centric Slotted or Power Slots for all four) plus new pads of course (either Hawk HPS, HP Plus, or Axxis street). (I'm not sure if Brembo makes pads and slotted rotors that can fit the TSX - I know they make plain replacement for front, but haven't seen slotted or at least any for the rears).
Two questions:
1. Does anyone know a good place to buy online? Zeckhausen Racing in NJ sells Centric / Axxis but not sure where else to look for others (other than kingmotorsports and tirerack)
2. When I finally purchase rotors and pads, do you suggest, or does anyone know of a great place to get them installed in NJ? I know that places like STS, etc. really won't install parts that you "bring in". I'm comfortable doing a lot of things to my car, but brakes I'd rather not attempt for the first time.
Thanks a lot for any advice. :killer:

tell them Aamir from Honda-tech referred you. They might give you a better deal. I get all of my brake stuff from them and so does everyone else on honda-tech.
