Any solutions or advice for going aftermarket on brake parts? Acura pads and rotors are so expensive

Paragon.

Rotors are expensive from OE because it is sold as a unit, not just the outer ring. I would get Girodisc rotors or paragon (not as good as Girodisc) both have the option to replace the outer ring by itself. Paragon offers a factory replacement outer ring which would be on the cheaper options.

For brake pads, really depends on your want. Factory replacement? Akebono is a great option. EBC is also pretty decent for a factory replacement pad.

Great prices...How many miles do you have on them?

Are the rotors *really* in need of replacement.

99/100 a shop is doing it as a package. Every time I have asked for the measured runout of a rotor I get crickets.

Great info. Great prices too (just noticed that taxes and shipping is included in their prices). And shipped from Canada, so no surprise fees at delivery.

Since I drive my car in the winter, would probably get a coated rotor (zinc or stainless - seems stainless coated is better for rust prevention than zinc, from what they say).

Thanks for sharing!

I just ordered Akebonos front and rear premium ceramics, they weren't very expensive.
ACT 1001 and ACT 1878, they were $65 for fronts, $45 for rears.
I'm doing them Monday.

I just got an entire set of replacement rotors (all 4) from Rock Auto for $210 shipped. One of my buddies was running them at the track with Counterspace Garage pads and they performed great. Just good old fashioned blanks.
Dynamic Friction- part no 60459065- Front rotors
Dynamic Friction- part no 60459067- rear rotors

Super stoked at the pricing. Just 1 piece fronts but I won't feel bad throwing them away when they wear out.

FWIW, I've had 2 track instructors tell me that running blanks is the way to go. no need spending a ton of money on fancy looking rotors.

I took some time on autozones site an the pads are the same across the civic type r which supposedly has the same brake size as us...will be trying the rear DG1878 as soon as my stock ones are worn
