OEM Genuine brakes or aftermarket?
First question, can anyone confirm the minimum allowable rotor width or thickness to replace a rotor?
Now, the fun question, OEM genuine Honda Acura part? or do you have personal experience with aftermarket rotors and pads? If so, how many miles do you have on your aftermarket setup and which brand did you go with?
Car:
Type and brand of brakes (OEM Genuine Honda Acura or Aftermarket):
How many miles:
Easy or hard miles:
Review?
Thank you in advance

Really? Have you had any issues with them? The lifetime warranty is nice but I would rather get something that will last and take a beating. The TSX is a fairly light weight car and it would take a lot to warp a rotor.

This might not be a bad option. I had great luck with the oem rotors and pads. I just don't want to drop the money on the genuine oem rotors unless I have to.
I am also considering just a pad replacement and fluid flush for now. Safe the rotors for later. Any one know the minimum thickness to replace a rotor?

The factory pads have the best blend possible of low dust, long life, performance, temp resistance, initial bite, cost, etc.
So...that's an easy choice if you want.
If you choose an aftermarket pad, then figure out what you want the pad to do. To gain more of one thing means compromising on other aspects. Example: Want more performance than OEM? Its possible if you can accept more dust and lower life span.
That kind of thing.
The only reason to deviate from OEM is if you want more OR less of some aspect.
If you're not looking for something in particular, just buy the factory pads.
Any blank rotor with a rust barrier is a fine choice, though. Factory, aftermarket, "performance", whatever you want...it pretty much works the same.

Nope. It should be stamped on the rotor.
Not something I pay much attention to. For many reasons, I use new rotors with every pad change.
They're cheap. Pads need to mate to the rotor...and this is MUCH easier with a fresh surface, etc.
