I just put brakemotive's rotors and pads:

PM him and he'll set you up. The self install is easy, might take 30 min a side.

Our Acurazine Brake Package is a great setup for the 1G TSX:

http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-401954.aspx

These Acurazine brake packages are designed to improve braking performance and durability at a reasonable price. The packages include Powerslot/STOPTECH performance rotors and STOPTECH Performance pads. All of the rotors have a black e-coating on the hubs and vanes and an advanced alloy composition. The Powerslot slotted rotors for the front of most Acuras also have a Power Alloy composition and a curved vane construction, which helps reduce heat in the brake system. The STOPTECH Performance pads are a para-aramid compound, which has great initial bite and long-term performance and lower dust and noise than most aftermarket brake pads.

I've been using duralast or wagner brand rotors($46-60)/pads($36-50) from autozone/pep boys with no issues.

If you're autocrossing/tracking the car then maybe you should look into upgrading otherwise no need to waste $$$.

I have Akebono Performance pads with ATE Premium One rotors. I am please with the results. Better than originals. No dust, no squeal and so far, no warped rotors. I replaced the originals at 93k. I put up with the juddering from warped rotors for quite some time.
I am now at 135k.
