Ordered new rotors and pads
Got sick of the stock crap. Turned rotors only 4k miles ago, and they are beginning to warp. Vibrations are only evident on high speed braking though, but it gets worse the longer they are used.
Since i hit the twisties quite often, i figured a new set would help.
Here's what i got:
2 brembo front blanks (slotted and drilled are not better in perf. wise, so didnt care for them)
and Front/Rear Hawk HPS Street
I am hoping these new pads and rotors can give me a little better stop distance and more importantly they can put up with the heat and not warp!
Anyone with a similar set up please input how you like the pads or rotors. All this was from tirerack
I will post updates when i get them installed this week.

Remember to break in the brakes.... Ever since I have had my brakes/rotors replaced (twice) I have been alot more gentle in braking... But I can tell they are beginning to warp again..

how many miles on them so far?
do you beat on them or easy going?
i plan to beat on mine and hope they do not fall warp.
i will probably try gettting the dealership to change the stock crap first under warranty, so i will have a new set of rotors just in case!
either way, the brembos and hawks are going on by the weekend.

I have the same setup, I have about 8k on them with no problems. The preformance is much better than stock. Real easy to install, 20min per wheel.

ever think about doing the Legend/NSX caliper swap? direct bolt on and replaces the stock single piston caliper with a two piston caliper.
I think our single piston caliper is a major contributer to our rotors warping.
