too much. A japanese specialist quoted me 650.

I did it myself, bought the CMAX pads (+tax i think was like close to 70), and OEM brembo blanks from an acura dealer on ebay for 212. Under 300 for my front brakes.

I have a 6MT 04 so basically same thing for the TL-S

Any of you guys look at this site... www.brakeperformance.com ?

I researched the company and lot of good reviews from many people on many different forums. Guys with G35's, WRX's, Evo's and more. Trying to see if anyone here has tried them. Many have also stated their warranties are awesome and legit.

I just installed these on the front:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-FRO...Q5fAccessories

They've been on for about 500 miles. Very happy with them. I still had plenty of wear (2/3) left on my RB ET300 pads so I just rebedded them to the new rotors using the directions that came with the rotors.

I had wanted to go with Brakemotive's group buy, but they're out of stock and they don't seem to be in too much of a hurry to be in stock.

My OEM rotors were at 23.5 mm (service limit is 23) when I made the change (111.5K).

Though I'm not a fan of stealerships, The PROPER way to resurface these rotors is the way all Honda and Acura dealers do it, with the lathe that resurfaces them ON THE CAR. That way, the new surface is perfectly perpendicular to the wheel hub and spindle. In all my years owning Hondas and now an Acura, I've always had better results doing it this way.
