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. |
I have a 2009 MDX... i recently had all 4 pads/ rotors replaced on top of a B service maintenance for under 800 at my local dealer. They said it is cheaper to do it together with a B service because they remove the brake components off anyway and i will just be paying parts from there.
Edit - it is the first time changing brakes for me since i've owned it.
