Can someone recommend a place to get brake pads (front and rear) and front rotors for a 2001 CL-S ? I'm only interested in Acura OEM parts. As low priced as possible.

thanks...

 

just go with the Rotora cross drilled rotors and satisfied pro ceramic brake pads. They are much better than the shitty oem ones and plus they'll probably be cheaper or equally priced. You can pretty much find the rotoras at 130 - 150 per each pair i believe.

 

i also heard alot of good things about the ebc green stuff

 

I am very happy with my Brembo blank rotors and Akebano pads. Its cheaper & better than OEM.
Fits perfectly , same specs as OEM.

I'd suggest not to waste money and time with OEM brakes, they are expensive and will warp quick!

 

People have said that the Brembo blanks will warp as well, I would suspect it is based on how you use the brakes.

 

yes, they will warp. But it should take longer than OEM, considering Brembo blanks half price of OEM. I am begining to belive that OEM pads is the main problem for warped rotors. You can buy good after market pads that are "rotor-friendly", which supposed to reduce warping.
Pads that give you good stoping power usually wear out your rotors quicker, thats why I got Akebano, that supposed to be easy on rotors while giving you above average stoping power.
they are also ceramic with very little dust.

 

If you check out www.rockauto.com, they have a wide variety of choices (oe style or performance), and the pricing there is pretty reasonable.

Owner Larry really knows his stuff on brakes and rotors.
Very good prices.

 

just a heads up... i didnt check the cost of other brands but i was able to get my front Rotora drilled and slotted rotors from Horsepowerfreaks.com for $190 shipped thats $20 cheaper than the group buy that is goin on right now

 

and these will fit a stock 03 CLS?

 

yes... here is the link

Do you have to replace both the front and back rotors at the same time?
