Question OEM Brake Pads

What brand does Acura use on the 99TLs for front and rear pads and does anyone know where I might be able to buy them over the internet?

DONT go with Acura brake pads when its time to replace them. Unless you've been one of the luck few who didnt have the rotors warp on you, those factory pads are too hard on the rotors and will cause you grief. For less money get yourself something aftermarket. I bought Hawk pads at tirerack.com for about $90, and there are other aftermarket choices.

I do have a set of unused factory Acura front pads still in the box that I will gladly sell to you for $30 plus shipping if you really must have Acura pads. I didnt use them for the reason I wrote above.... PM me if you want them.

The new pads are 'supposed' to be redesign, my rotors warped at 40k and I had it resurfaced + installed new redesign brake pads under warranty. For the first 500 miles, the braking was so crappy I thought something was wrong. Now my car seems back to normal. If you go aftermarket, I recommend endless, Axxis seems like a good solution but their Metalmaster will kill the stock rotors and Ultimate will only last around 20k. So OEM pads aren't that bad of a choice for everyday driving.
