Welcome. Use the search button for all the info you need. Look for rotors and pads. I' m pretty sure you'll find a vendor on here that sells both and reviews about each.

If you bought it recently, and you're thinking of replacing them already... why not ask the stealership to do it for free?

Acura of Woodbine flipped me the bird when I inquired about the TSX's brakes when I bought it.

Downtown Acura had no problems installing new brakes on my EL though.

Worth a shot if you just bought it.

Agreed. I bought mine from East and they just replaced all the rotors and brake pads.

Tell them to **** off and die.

I mean geez you can get superior aftermarket parts for front and rear for under $1000, and get someone like 360 to install for under $150.

If it's a certified pre-owned TSX, I think you should really pressure them to replace them for free, and remind them their conduct will determine whether or not you purchase another Honda product again.

Forget about stock pad, they are so weak compare to aftermarket.

Go contact HeeltoeAuto (our forum vendor), or anywhere. Get a nice set of Brembo/Mugen/ or any brand of rotor for around $200-300 (front pair); general use good brake pad are less than $150/pair from Hawks/EPC/ or Endless... they can stop way better than stock pad and has a higher resistant to brake fade in hot weather. Installation is cheap I bet anyone will do it for $60/4 corners.

I bought a set of front and rear cross drilled rotors that were plated in silver cadmium complete with a full set of F & R pads for $170.00 taxes incl from a place in Scarborough that also sells through ebay (seller name Silverstone). They have been on the car 6 months and not a speck of rust.

Installed all the parts myself in about 2 hours so my total cost was still $170

If you drive your car anywhere from mild to hard I recommend RacingBrake slotted Rotors.
I go with EBC Greens for regular spirited driving. If you're lapping I'd use the Performance Friction 97 race compound. Expensive but kind on rotors. ($350CAD/pr.)
A lot of people here seem to like Hawks but their good sets tend to increase rotor wear if you drive hard. IMO

For my front I have Brembo OEM blank rotors and Hawk HPS pads and for the rear Powerslot slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. The front cost me $300US and the rear was $270US. I did the work myself. Doing the brakes is super easy, just need the right tools and a plentiful amount of PB Blaster.

I ordered them through Heeltoe here on the forums.
You can try JRP or Performance Improvements but you're going to pay a premium.
Remember to ship USPS only to avoid crazy brokerage fees.

Performance friction you'll only find from their authorized dealers.
