You get what you pay for. Those are probably Chinese rotors that are basically worse quality than your factory rotors but they look pretty. If you want a performance-oriented rotor I'd recommend Powerslot or STOPTECH. Here are the links to the FL and FR rotors and the F pads.

^You got rotors replaced under warranty?

That's funny. When I tried they told me they wouldn't replace mine because it's a wear and tear part. Now my warranty is up.

it was done at the same time as pad service which honda covered via the lawsuit, like u said rotors are wear and tear and not covered, but when they did pads they saw my fronts were badly warped so i got a very nice hookup from my dealership

Yes the front rotors and pads are the same for the 04-12 TSX.

That's a great package. Our XLR8 BBK is even better.

I've also had my eye on that package. Might just pull the trigger soon. Is $380 the discounted AZ price?

Sure is. The brake package was designed for AZ members.

I bought the brake package last week from Excelerate. Great price, service, and fast shipping.

Any recommendations on a shop I can go to around Queens/LI to put these rotors/pads on?
