How Far Did You Go w/ OEM Pds & Rotors?
I'm at 34K, and I believe it's time to brake. But I'm wondering how many miles you guys got on original stock setup?

Getting mine changed very soon. I'm at 43K. My rotors I believe have been shot for some time now (warped) so I got a set of Brembo X-Drilled/slotted waiting to be installed. My braking effectiveness began to noticeably decrease at around 40K, so that's when I think my pads became shot.

Mine gave out at 27k miles and I had to get new rotors and pads. They did it for free, though.

Now I have these red calipers that say Rotora 4 on them, with holes and slots in the rotors. Are those any good?

mine went around 30K. warped too, but they supposedly "did me a favor" and good willed the service, when I had all ready purchased the 100K mile 7 year warranty..... and it was only 4 years old.... acura tends to mess with me something fierce. BTW, what rotors and pads do you guys reccomend?
