which ones are the best? thanx in advance.

 

if you want performance brake pads then I recommend ENDLESS, but they are very costly.

MUGEN pads are very nice also !

of course there is always OEM brake pads. ..

 

man, OEM brake pads? they SUCK ASS!!! hate them...i also want to change the brake...thinking about AEM or ENDLESS...

 

There is also Metal Masters!

what about Raybestos, the brand sold at pep boys. i had them on my last car and they werent too bad. if you buy their lifetime pads, which cost around 25 bucks, you can return them when they wear down and you get new ones for free b/c of the warranty.

 

how much for good aftermarket pads? how much improved performance?

I have a box of metal masters sitting right here begging to be installed! I'll know soon!

 

Axxis are good, but do they make for TLs?

I do not know if they make them for ACURA but I used to have EBC Greenstuff (Kevlar pads) on my SAAB 900SET they let off very little dust and they stopped the car VERY well. I liked them better than MetalMaster

Yep, I have them on my TL.. They work great...an incredible improvement over stock. Snook (Tim) has them available, I bought them from him.

PORTERFIELDS R4s - the best pads you can buy, trust me. A lot of high performance cars use these. They are kinda expensive but very good pads, I have them on the NSX, and Carrera, and the 3000gt, yet to put them on the TL.

Comptech fabricates Accord ones to fit our TL's! You can only buy them through Comptech or here!

 

are kevlar pads better than axxis metal master? porterfield makes pads for TL, but they cost $144 a piece.

 

I've heard a lot of good things about the Axxis Metal Masters and the AEM pads. I've heard a friend complain that the EBC Greenstuff pads dust like crazy.

Personally I'll either go with AEM or Axxis Metal Masters. I've heard that the AEM pads give off a greyish color dust which isn't as noticeable as the OEM pads.
