I'm going from the the 3 years of school I have, the Acura Tech Line people (who are engineers and designers) the 13 years of Acura school I have, 15 years of experience, ASE certified, oh and the fact I do brake work almost everyday, so I'll take all that over some stoptech site who probably only researches their product and nothing else, with that being said, go drive your car about 45mph with one foot on the brake creating excessive heat for 3-4miles then tell me your "pads" caused that and not the heat. all of us who are telling you are wrong are guys who have or still work in the field, I highly doubt you have any automotive technical repair skills, other than what some web site tells you
