Which replacement rotors and pads do you recommend? I'm thinking of replacing my stock (warped) rotors with Centric rotors, but staying with the OEM pads. Thanks in advance for any replies.
have 10k miles now on the front Centric blank rotors and Centric ceramic pads and they still work like new with no shuddering or warpage and very little brake dust. I would recommend them.Thanks for the replies.
SteveV: Please let us know how the rotors and pads work out for you. I hope that combination works well for you.
This is where I got rotors and pads for our '07 MDX, dimpled and slotted. Highly recommended on mdxers.com. Was really stoked about putting them on until the MDX was totaled by an 80 year old woman! Still have the set BTW. Wish I could stuff them on the Ody...Free shipping, free pads, Life time warranty. On some car they use OEM rotors. I bought a set for my E55 AMG and the rotors are 2-piece OEM rotors that they dimple and slotted. Can't beat the life time warranty.

second this. sometimes you gotta pay the price for the quality you want. for pads i like wagner as well and stoptech.I have found factory rotors do suck.
You should buy the best rotors you can afford... do not cheap out there. Any local auto parts store can supply those. For pads, I like Wagner, again buying the best ones you can afford. When it comes to brake parts you get what you pay for. And for the price, I always replace the pads with new rotors. Do it once, do it right.
Sounds like fun having two car seats, a stroller, juice boxes, DVDs, umbrella, other random s*** all up in the front seat with me.The article suggests finding an open road with few cars on it and doing hard decelerations from 70mph - 5mph 6-8 times
My long mileage report from my power slots... I'm going to be swapping them out for the stock units.My rotors warped in about 12K dealer turned them down for free but it last about 2K and then same issue again.............
Finally i got tired of this BS and installed my self front and rear set of Powerstop K5858 Evolution (Z16)
Crossdrilled and sloted rotors and ceramic pads

I got almost 6k on them so far and no warping problems ( i beat the crap out of them almost every day.....)
But couple things that you need to know:
#1 They make "humming (grinding)" noise when breaking hard
#2 They kind of suck when cold - great when warmed up (ceramic pads nature)
#3 For the amount of money you pay its a good deal.
Hope that you find it use full...........
