I know there's a plethora of threads out there about the well known front rotor problem with the 1G TSX. What I want to do is compile as many people's experience as possible regarding aftermarket replacements. For those of you who have replaced the front rotors and pads due to the rotors warping, what did you replace them with? I'm looking for brands, models, and somewhat more importantly, how many miles do you have on that set up and what's your total mileage on the odometer.

I'm hoping this will be a good resource for those like myself who have warped rotors and want to fix the problem, not have it recur down the road.

 

Changed out original rotors and pads at 85K miles.
@ 85K miles, rotors replaced w/ Brembo blanks, pads replaced w/ Hawk ceramics. Vastly improved stopping, however over time there was surface rust at the rotor hubs and squeaking upon braking. A lot of brake dust!
@ 126,600K miles, rotors replaced w/ Centric premium, pads replaced w/ Akebono street performance. Have about 500miles on these so far. I'm happy w/ the stopping performance. No squeaks, low brake dust.

 

05 TSX w/ a little over 124K miles

4 rotors and rear pads installed on 2-1-08 @ 65150 miles
Front pads on 4-7-09 @ 93400 miles

R1 Concepts package comprised of:
R1 Concepts E-Line Performance brake rotors (4)
R1 Concepts Premium Semi-Metallic brake pads (8)

Bought on ebay for $225.65 delivered.

I've been very happy with the package, though I don't know if it's still available

 

powerslot front and hawk pad. quite often squeaks but can't complaint the performance

 

The front OE lasted over 90k and the pads still had some material, but were replaced because of suspected rotor warping.

20k on new OEM pads + Brembo blanks.

Pros:

Smooth, strong, balanced quiet braking without excessive brake dust.

Cons:

They seem to rust excessively.

Overall:

This combo is a pretty safe bet. There are more aggressive setups, but I did not consider them due the issues seen in other threads regarding excessive brake dust, vibration and noise/squeaks with various aftermarket mix/match combo's. One recommendation: consider taking some time to clean and paint (the areas that the pads will not contact) before installation.

 

EBC slotted brakes, with wagner ceramic pads @ 110,000 KM's

No problems at all with the new set up, no fade, good stopping power, no brake dust and quiet no squeaks . Also the brake rotors come coated in black zinc, so only where the pad comes into contact is where the metal is exposed, leaving the rest of the rotor protected from rust and it looks good.
