Default MY05 RL

Probably the wrong place to ask but does anyone know where I can order OEM rl brake pads?

Does the dealer not have them or are they rather expensive and you want a better deal ?

The closest dealership is about 2 hours away. I'm just trying to save some time which is gonna cost me more money in the long run.

I guess they are just worn out. The car has close to 52,6XX miles on it. I drive a lot back and forth from va to nj and vice versa. And i'm heading back to va tomorrow after this nor easter and there isnt an acura dealership where i'm located. Also, I wont be headed back in NJ for awhile so, I just wanted to order them. And attempt to install them or drop em off at a Midas or a local shop.
Rai, do you think I should get OEM or aftermarket ones? The oem pads worked pretty well. I wonder how bad/good aftermarket ones are.

I checked hardtopguy.com and they dont have brake pads, but thanks.

hey you should do a write up on your car over the past year, pronto.


Gives us future RL (if future) buyers a chance to read something longer term.

Man you're living in the car. How long have you had it? I got a ride in my friends RL and it was very nice. I'd like to hear how they hold up after so many miles.

I put just 50K miles on 4 cars in a year.

I don't know much about brake pads to give any advice. I usually get OEM (or else just get a new car)
