From Delray Acura, OEM pads for front $161 and back rear $81 for 2005 RL??? WTF, no way.

 

They are expensive....anyone know if these Advics pads are the same (link from local auto parts shop)

^ I good bit of savings. I found a Raybestos site with ceramics for about $10 bucks cheaper. Given the mileage of the car (162K), as long as I find some decent ceramic replacement pads, I'm shooting that way.

I just can't believe OEMs for the front are twice as expensive as the rear.

 

It's because if you believe the dealers, they are really Brembos.

 

Go to placeforbrakes.com and look up akebonos. 57 front, 41 rear, no tax free ship. Pro act ceramics.

Amazon sometimes has them cheaper.

 

^ Thanks... Holy crap, I didn't even think of Amazon for ceramic pads.

 

No offense to the sponsors but this is definitely not a dealer purchase, someone had a set in the classifieds a while back.

 

Get the sasified grandsport ceramic pads I have them no squicks sting stopping power.
