Where did you get your centric disks? I had them on my accord with akebono pads and LOVED the pairing.

So far so good with the new brakes and pads, I ordered both from amazon took about a month to come but worth it. Yeah I’m pretty aggressive on my brakes, if I weren’t they probably would have lasted to 30k.

Anyone with the aspec has any thoughts on this.

I have the aspec AWD and thought about pad exchange but with nearly 27k miles on the car the brakes seem fine with the stock pads. Could your rotors have glazed over because I find the brakes just fine and I tend to drive much more enthusiastically than probably 98% of TLX drivers. I would probably go with Hawk HPS pads if I need to replace them before swapping out the car as I liked those on my type S and the dust was minimal. I do recall the type S stock pads wearing out in 20k miles which I found to be very short lifetime and they put out a ton of dust.
