bumping up an old thread.

my mom's 2010 mdx has warped its oem rotors for the second time and i'm tired of it, as those of you who drive honda products know their oem rotors are crap. the dealer says the rotors can no longer be machined and wants ~$800 for oem pads/rotors/fluid/labor. i asked a private shop and their quote was only $100 less with brembo blanks and akebono pads. i think the shop labor time for both is about 2 hours.

i tried to go on the brakemotive site but it's not in service (it's been under construction for awhile now). so i looked on ebay and this is what i found for brakemotive.... $230cad for front and rear pads/rotors before shipping:

Front & Rear DRILLED SLOTTED BRAKE ROTORS AND 8 CERAMIC PADS Acura MDX ZDX Pilot | eBay

how are your brakemotive parts holding up? would you still recommend? do you get any noise from the pads because of the slots in the rotors? i'm reluctant to use drilled rotors because of cracking but there are not many aftermarket solid disc choices for my application.
