Anybody seen/heard/tried these?

They look perty though!

 

Never heard of them. But for a little under 100 bucks more, you can get the Stoptech kit from Excelerate. He has a special discounted package for us.

 

I'd pass.

 

I don't trust it. The HT-Spec brake packages we have coming out are real upgrades. These items are cheap. You can probably get better braking results with an HT-Spec Stage 0 than this.

 

"I'd rather slam the bottom of my shoe onto the tire to stop as oppose to use these!"

 

I wouldn't trust it.

 

Ironically, they are probably perfectly adequate. But in my mind, you gotta get something that a company can stand behind. Ebay stores are notorious for selling stuff that isn't exactly what is implied in the ads, and trying to get service after the fact is like "good luck."

For a nice car like an Acura I think putting something on the car that is at least as good or better than what it came from the factory with is a good idea. These might be good enough, but it basically turns into $100 gamble.

 

Thanks guys for setting me straight. I must have a cheap gene or something because I am always looking for a cheap answer (which ends up costing a lot more). I didn't think stop techs (or comparable brake upgrades) were that reasonable but $100 more is not bad at all. I will chech out the specials MrHeeltoe has.

 

Nothing wrong with you man, cheap is the way to go when it makes sense. I think there should be a distiction between "buying cheap parts" and "buying parts with value at a good price". If you want cheap stuff, for sure get the cheap stuff. IMO, the Stoptechs or Rotoras really aren't going to give you a ton more value for the money spent. This is why I mostly recommend the Racingbrakes. They have features beyond branding that justify the higher cost.

 

I don't think that that's "cheap" enough to warrant going cheap. 200 bucks, maybe, but at that cost, I wouldn't go for it. Plus, I was told not to get crossdrilled because of possible stress cracks.

 

Properly chamfored holes shouldn't crack, but holes really are mostly for looks anymore. The new pad materials don't need to be off gassed.
