Brake Pads
 
I'm currently using Dba rotors and ebc pads on my04 6spd Tl and I must say this is my worst purchase yet really rough and ate my rotors up and yes did brake in period they just really suck ... So now I'm planning to get rotors from heeltoe not the racing rotors and acura aspec pads with stainless brake lines.... Has anyone suffered from major brake fade with this setup?........... ........ Hope I posted in right section ...

ROTORA has a nice setup when combined with ROTORA H2 pads and Technafit SS brake lines. Improved braking, less prone to warpage, long life.

Optional A-Spec pads are for auto transmission models. With a 6-speed, there's only the Brembo setup and that means we're fucked. Everyone tries to save $$$ from the stealerships' insane Brembo Brake Job prices, but that's the only way I've found to be 100% trouble free. My next BJ is almost at hand and Acura of Manhattan just quoted me $465 less 10% to do just the fronts. And that doesn't include flushing and replacing the brake fluid if needed.
:yikes:

OE Pads ~$165 shipped plus DIY is better than $465 to the dealer, IMHO. I can always use $300 in my pocket.

Got my pads from an Acura dealer on e-bay for $150 shipped. The change is very easy since the Brembo is a quick change type caliper.

You can see pricing on our webstore at http://store.excelerateperformance.com Just put in your vehicle info but basically ROTORA slotted rotors are $225 for the pair and ROTORA H2 ceramic pads for $90 and Technafit SS brake lines are $100. Shipping depends on the zip code. That would improve braking while also decreasing brake dust too. The ROTORA H2 pads are low noise, low dust and good bite.

You can call us to discuss further. I also have a set of STOPTECH rotors on sale too.
