Are these brakes a good deal?
They look nice lol. At autozone the OEM rotors come out to 250 all around so I figured these were better, but I thought I'd ask anyways?

I stock the Brakemotive "Kinetic" brand rotors, which are manufactured exclusively by Power Stop for us, and the pads are the genuine Power Stop Z16 Evolution ceramic pads available for $145.00 shipped. This is the price with your forum member discount. If you have any questions, please send me a PM!

Hot diggity damn that's a good deal, autozone wanted like 150 for the front set of rotors and 100 for the back, that's without pads as well. I'll be PM'ing you very soon, as soon as I can get my transmission checked out.

We offer brake packages for almost all the Acura models.
http://store.excelerateperformance.c...863&make=ACURA
The packages include Powerslot/STOPTECH performance rotors and STOPTECH Performance pads. All of the rotors have a black e-coating on the hubs and vanes and an advanced alloy composition. The Powerslot slotted rotors for the front of most Acuras also have a Power Alloy composition and a curved vane construction, which helps reduce heat in the brake system. The STOPTECH Performance pads are a para-aramid compound, which has great initial bite and long-term performance and lower dust and noise than most aftermarket brake pads.

That looks awesome, can't wait to install mine. The back brakes look like they're from a bicycle!

Thanks Naz, that's reassuring happy to hear they are still going strong. How is the zinc standing up? Still look brand new?

Not a fan of the rotors but that's one hell of a deal.

I have that Powerstop Kit, but I bought it from Buybrakes.com for $273 shipped. For the price, it is a great buy. I did just have the front rotors replaced under warranty though after 4 months of having them on the car. Laurie from Buybrakes and Will from Powerstop were both extremely helpful in the replacement. I have not any issues since then.

i can vouch for the brakemotive kit on my 3g type s. they are by far the best price around while still being top notch quality. i have no complaints at all about them.
plus for the price i paid it looks like i can get two brakemotive kits for the price of one of your kits excelerate. not saying anything bad about your kits becuase i dont have any experience with them, but Sean at brakemotive is a great guy and backs everything he sells 100%

Exactly, every review I have seen on the Brakemotive package has been great, so I saw no reason to not try it out 
if something goes wrong it was only $145 and I'll move on to something else.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT, lol. But regardless if Excelerate's brakes are better, I'm a college freshman, and my paycheck for this week was 85 bucks. I'm gonna go cheaper on this one.

2008 Type-S full set with pads $$$ ?
Still concerned if these ceramic pads will be noisy like Hawk ceramic pads ?

Yes?
They can't be resurfaced so they may actually cost more money. If you're buying them for looks, go ahead but don't think they're going to increase stopping performance in any measurable way. Good fluid and SS lines would be a better investment.
