'07 TL Type-S rotors & pads

I have searched a lot and found no real answers.
I want to buy drilled/slotted rotors F&R with pads for my 2007
Acura TL Type-S.
Was on Ebay & Amazon & here.
Want quality but I cannot afford OEM parts.
Brakemotive ??
Stop Tech ??
Kinetic Rotors ??
I want to spend about $300 total.
Car needs parts soon.
Hawk ??
Looked at Heeltoe & XLR8 websites also.
I don't need brake lines, just rotors & pads.
Thankyou much for any help

I don't think you can pull that off with $300 to your door.


Cheapest "no name" slotted/drilled rotors with something like Centric Posi-Quiet will run you around $350 at best.

You can always order some "overnight parts from japan."

I think I paid a total of right about $300. But I decided against drilled and slotted. Went with Centric high carbon rotors and duralast c max gold pads. Very happy with the combination, better than my warped brakemotive set, that's for sure. Drilled and slotted are for nothing but looks on our cars.

I would consider slotted but would have no interest in drilled.

I had drilled/slotted rotora rotors on my subaru once and they started to develop cracks because of the constant heat transfer. Note that these were driven hard at the track. I don't think daily driving would ever get to this point though. If you looks closely enough you can see what I'm talking about. Kinda dangerous haha. Rotora wouldn't do anything about it for me.

^^^^ That is exactly why I said I would not be interested in drilled. Regardless of hard track use or prolonged general everyday use, they tend to crack.

Yep, because of my bad experience I would never recommend drilled rotors to anyone unless your pockets are deep or you have a race team to back you up and replace your rotors lol. If you are just going to daily the thing with occasional spirited driving just get blanks. I'm sure you know this, but most of the stopping power comes from your tires anyways. Upgraded rotors/pads/lines/fluid will help with brake fading. If you can kick your ABS with your current setup now, then your brakes are doing it's job and it's up to the tires now.

Thankyou very much for the great response
I Love AZ and you guys
I found Calahan brakes also.
A friend said they have been around for quit a while.
I will see what I can find just slotted.
I can spend more that $300. $350 is okay
I usually always buy the best. But my financial
Situation is Much different than it use to be.
Thanks again

I've had Brakemotive's on mine for probably 2 years or so and need to replace mine soon. Cracks started to develop not too long ago just from general daily driving with some spirited driving here and there. Just food for thought.

Thankyou.
Today I have been all over online looking
At Stoptech, dba & Hawk.
Stoptech is the only one with prices I can afford now.
My Max for (4) rotors & pads is $400.
Thankyou very much for all your comments
