07 TL/S brake pads-???

Need help!
I need to buy replacement front brake pads for my 07 TL/S. Dealer pads are 206.15 a set. Apparently Acura likes them alot!!
Akebono ProACT were recommended, any assistance would be helpful.
Thanks, Ron

i replaced the brakes on my type s myself, took like 20 minutes...

autozone cmax gold were like 50 bucks for the set, and were much much better then the brembo pads, almost zero dusting from the pads as well....

Dont get the dealer pads. I got mine for around $60 a set and they're great.

thats what i would do...if i knew what i know now when i got my type s, i would have driven it from the dealership to autozone and got the cmax gold pads and put them on...the brembos may be a little better in the braking department, but the brake dust is just too much for me...
