Brake Upgrade Recommendations

I am due for an upgrade for my brakes
2007 RL w/ Tech Pkg
I wanted to get Stainless Steel Brake Lines
What Rotors ? (Will Possibly Cryotreat for longer life)
Synthetic Brake Fluid ? (What proper fluid to use , Read Recall about using wrong fluid)
Better pads than stock ?

Any recommendations and links to help out if I decide to purchase
would be most appreciated

You don't need synthetic bf, Acura fluid is fine, just bleed it regularly if you want to keep air out of the lines and fresh fluid in there, every 2-3 years is fine.. SS brake lines are a good upgrade. I don't have performance brakes, but centric rotors and akebono pads, no issues, stops fine for regular street use.

I agree that Acura brake fluid is fine...a good product. My suggestions would be a set of stainless-sheathed lines and that, if you need new rotors, you consider getting cryogenic-treated rotors to match more aggressive pads. The cryo's don't "stop better", but they last longer...
