Don't wanna rain on your parade, but brakes from ebay are usually shit. I bought the same type a long time ago for another car, braking was worse right away, stopping distance was increased, and they rusted like hell after only a few weeks, bought regular rotors from Pepboys, put them on and brake bite was good again. Slotted and drilled rotors may be OK for autocross to keep them cool, but they suck for regular driving, they have less surface area for the pads to grab on and will increase your braking distance, which could be the difference between rear ending another car or not.

Brakes from ebay aren't always crap.I have purchased electrophoretic coated rotors and ceramic pads that work perfectly and no rust.
I did try drilled and slotted on My Dodge.I found them to stop adequately.However I could hear and feel the slots hitting the pads.I would try drilled only if i thought I needed a performance rotor set.

Acc20yrs

So far so good. I feel no vibration or hear any noises and they stop just as good as the original ones. Only time will tell, I will update with an objective review after a few months use for everyone's benefit.

OK it has been exactly a month since my last posting. The rotors are performing exceptionally. There is no noise or vibration. I put about 1K miles on them already. Thanks for reading.

Two months have gone by and the rotors are holding on pretty good. No noise, no vibration and very little brake dust! I guess not all ebay brakes are crap like someone posted. I will probably buy the same for my wife's 2015 RDX Tech we just got five months ago. Yeah I got two RDXs!

I always replaced my stock rotors with these. My 2004 Acura TL 6 speed with Brembos warped in 30,000 miles and these rotors all around worked great. Also when my 2005 Accord Coupe 6 speeds brakes got worn I did the same. I will probably upgrade my 2016 RDX when the time comes. Cooler brakes are better.

Acc20yrs

Thank you for commenting. I agree cooler brakes are better brakes!

Two RDX's, what a stud. I've had my 2016 RDX Tech for 3 months now and I really like it. Being a Honda car and motorcycle junky and with my need for AWD and product quality, I knew Honda/Acura was probably my only option. I seriously looked at the Honda Pilot (and other SUV's), but the user interface/stereo problems so many people were complaining about scared me off. The RDX's dash, stereo, UI features and overall quality and performance sold me. it's lighter than the Pilot and goes like stink when the pedal is put to the metal. I have zero complaints. My only minor gripe it that the top of the rear bumper is subject to scratching since it has no rubber pad like all of the other SUV brands. The accessory clear vinyl sheet offered is pretty useless. My dog's claws will make a mess of it without something substantial on there. But I love driving it and it handles amazing well for an SUV. I'll test it out real well this winter in Denver. Have fun with your dueling RDX's.

Acc20yrs

thank you motor for your comment we are enjoying our RDX's very much!

Well It's been 9 months since I had the drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads installed. There has been no noise, no vibration and no brake fading so far.

Acc20yrs

Well as promised I am providing a long term update. It has been roughly 16 months since installing the rotors. I am happy to report they are still performing flawlessly. They have not rusted and they are stopping very good. So, I just ordered the whole kit, same brand, and soon I will have all four drilled and slotted with ceramic pads. I will post pictures here in a week or so after installation.

I've not had any of that with my stock brakes.

Depends on the quality; who they were manufactured by. My sports car has factory drilled discs and they are fine.

As long as my stock RDX brakes last a whole lot longer than those on my last VW. At 12,000 miles, the rear discs on it were gone due to extremely heavy corrosion and the calipers weren't even seized.

Summit Racing also carrys (IMO) good quality drilled and slotted rotors. I was getting only 6mo - year out of rotors from the local auto parts store. These have been on my TL-s now for 2 years and are great! No warping or pulsation any more. I'm about to purchase an RDX so I'm looking at some of the forum write ups.

I Purchased a similar product, different brand (Power Stop K6940 Z23 Evolution Sport with ceramic pads). Installed them on the front wheels like 3-4 months ago. Noticeable increase in braking distance but it was very silent and smooth. 1-2 months later it got noisy and i started feeling vibrations during brakes.
Checked with my mechanic and he mentioned that some sections of the pads got contaminated by humidity or water and that was the cause of the noise now. Really painful experience so far with the grinding noise on each stop and vibrations.
Either this brand is crap (i selected it based on good comments from Acurazine tho) or the break-in was not performed properly.
Waiting to consume the pads before replacing the assembly with something else.

Tech

I have Honda/Acura stock brakes on my 2017 and have no issues with them other than having to wear some of the corrosion away after it was parked for 6 weeks while on vacation. They are running smooth after doing so.

Maybe its the driving style or maybe its the installation?
