UPS brought me some presents

Got my first of two packages today. Got my Stillen rear cross drilled rotors and my EBC green stuff pads for the front. Next shipment will have my EBC slotted and dimpled rotors and my green stuff rear pads.

OOOHHHH that looks nice. Not sure if this is your first aftermarket brakes for your car, but if they are you are gonna love the difference in your braking, it's like night and day.

Cool. hope you have fun doing your first mod. Now that I think about it Rotora slotted rotors was my first mod. I think it might be a lot of ours though considering the terrible stock rotors. Anyway, good job and enjoy taking off the stock ones.

Thanks! And yeah i have read in the DIY section that the screws are a pain. I already picked up a impact screwdriver to help me get them off. And if all else fails I have a set of screw extractors and a drill

Those looking for the ultimate upgrade in useable brakes for our acuras should look in the Black Market Section of this forum, see sponsored sales/group buys. Those guys are the vendors who pay to keep this website running free for our use.
They stand behind their products or they would be kicked off here

Excellerate carries Rotora slotted rotors, good product

Mr Heel Toe has the made in the USA, Racing Brake slotted, and they have special curved innner vanes with all sorts of patented technology - slick way to draw more hot air out of the rotor

See racingbrake.com for full product details on the UP model one piece rotors.

They also make a 2 piece rotor with replaceable outer disc for severe racers or massive bling factor

Some people like the ebc- others hate them
Some love Hawk HPS- others say they wear fast

To me, I want the brakes to be the best part of the car
Spend a little now or a lot later

Support our vendors!!!!
