ATE pads and rotors @ tirerack.com

Looks like tirerack.com now sells ATE rotors and pads for our cars. Never heard of ATE, but front rotors look intresting @ $75 each, only $15 mire than brembo blanks:

The first link probably was for a competing forum... If they have an acura forum, you won't be able to post a link here... (I'm guessing the link was for A V 6 or A W)...

I'd give anything a shot over the stocks. Then again I think it's been determined that the rotor warpage is not just due to crappy rotors but also the calipers. Both of which are too small for the car.

Personally since the price is about the same as Rotoras, I'd just go with the Rotoras.

I don't know about that, considering the OE ones suck.

I'm glad I got rid of the stock rotors, over 12,000 miles on warped rotors was starting to drive me crazy.

I'd go rotoras, they seem pretty popular and well liked. If I wouldn't have got a such a good deal on the ones I got last week, I would have probably purchased a set of rotoras.
