Hey, guy. I am currently running OEM Brembo Rotors and Hawk HPS in the front. I bought the car with 57k and now it has 109k. I think its been 2-3 years since i installed the Hawk HPS, but now the pads in the front and rear gone , as well as the rear rotors.

I just ordered PowerSlot Slottes rotors for the front and rear.. I dont want to go HAWK HPS anymore... they are noisey and dust like crazy.

I am thinking OEM.. does anyone have a cheaper alternative, but with the same stopping power/no noise/low dusting?

Thanks in advance guys..

ET series brake pads 300 for mom drives it and et500 for more aggressive drivers
the 700 are more for track style driving

out sponsor mrheeltoe is the supplier for them- his price should be less than what factory site list, see website for tech info
many ziners are using them
Some dust and awesome stopping- those go together- physics!

tip: wash rims and wax both sides with 2-3 coats of synthetic car wax
slippery makes it harder for the scalding hot brake particulate matter to adhere and then gather more crud to itself

I think i am going to go with OEM Brembo.

Anyone else can chime in?

try using the search for `what brake pads` and there are many many many threads

nothing wrong with the OE- if you liked how they stop stay with them
If not- options given

I'm going Powerslot and ET 300's. Surprised your bad experience with HPS. I have almost no dust and hardly ever a squeak. Important to rough up disc and bed them in. If you go back to OEM prepare to clean your wheels everyday!!

Go with the OEM. I've run several pads and the OEM pads are consistently the best.

Anyone have any suggestions for where to purchase the OEM pads and rotors?

Acura charges around 500 for both......

Check prices from the AZ vendors or go on ebay.

Sorry in advance for being a total noob to this forum, but does "AZ vendors" mean some vendor in Arizona? and I'm skeptical of ebay because people offer OEM brakes but give like a 3yr / 36k miles warranty, when the ones Acura has put on have depleted in about 1.5 yrs each. Am i wrong to be skeptical of adds like that? link is below...

Ahh, sorry. Acurazine vendors. There are some dealers that are site vendors.

For ebay - I've found that several dealerships sell online too.

Thanks guys.

Ebay has OEM for $146 ....

HAWK HPS are around $110...

I will order something in the next couple days, since my Powerslot's are on their way!
