Everyone here is going to say the Acurazine sponsors. But if you want to look up part numbers and do crossreferencing with nice illustrated breakdowns, these sites are outstanding:

www.AcuraPartsWarehouse.com
www.AcuraOEMParts.com

They are also good places to order from as well...

When it comes to pads though, eBay has some great deals on OEM pads. I wouldn't use anything else. As for rotors, I like brembo blank aftermarket rotors.

I usually go to a local dealer or MagAuto.com for Acura specific parts.

Autozone for general things like brake pads.

You can check out brakemotive a vendor here:

https://acurazine.com/forums/sponsored-sales-group-buys-10/brakemotive-drilled-slotted-brake-kits-lowest-prices-ever-809114/#post12794905

but if you want rotors and pads for your brembos you might have to wait a bit for a "new shipment" to come in like many others are - but the price is CHEAP!!

Agree. Best price I found for OEM Pads for Brembo caliper (6 MT's and/or TL-S) was ~$165 shipped from Park Acura in Akron. That's about $60 less than the dealer list price.

Just put the pad part number into ebay search.

Ive never had brakemotive brakes, hence I provided OP with a link so he could conduct his own research based on comments related to that vendor.

honestly - im a noob on car parts in general.

i know i need rear pads, and rotors. and ill be needing fronts as well, so i might as well order now.

im not sure what exactly im ordering, as far as brand, ceramic, cross drilled... etc.

im content with the factory parts, i dont need anything crazy, and dont really have the money to be upgrading to brembo.

so any help or direction on that i would appreciate it.

Ceramic pads are probably the best choice for all around driving.
