                For anyone that is thinking about changing the brakes, and keeping the car for a while, you might want to do what i did. I upgraded them to rotor over hub which is what most cars use... its much easier to change the rotors(2 bolts and 2 screws).

                Theres a link to what i followed. You can just do the hubs, rotors, bearings and have it done. Or you can also upgrade calipers and everything.

                My brakes were real bad, and I was thinking about having a shop change the pads/rotors/bearings since i knew it was i pain in the butt. They wanted 600. I did this upgrade, and spent about 450 on the rotors/hubs/bearings/master cylinder/calipers/AEM pads. It was definately worth it.

                If you are thinking about doing this conversion, you will prolly want to go to the acura dealer and order the hubs first, because last I heard, they were on national backorder. Other than that, parts are readily available.
