I would recommend Hawk HPS pads. They bite instantly, so they could be a little noisy if you don't grease the backs. They aren't great on dust, but you will always have a lot of brake dust due to the size of the brakes. The performance is probably the best available for non race applications. I have never experienced brake fade, but I do have a heavily modified brake system.
I had Eagle F1s on my RSX after having a set of Nitto summer tires. I have to say, I loved them. Grippy, and handled minor inclimate weather way better than the Nittos.
And I agree about the 3D wintersport tires. They can grip in cold temps but not suck in the summer. I had them on my wife's TSX through 4 NE winters. Great tire.
I can recommend the tires that I use and have been happy with for a while now, the Continental DWS. It's the best all season tire I've used so far, and the one that has work best in the snow
I just installed new brake pads and rotors all around, oil and filter change, new bosch icon wiper blades, and new oem rubber floor mats. The car runs and drives great and everything works as it should including the sunroof, heated and power leather seats, satellite radio, windows and mirrors, etc.
PeanutGallery said: What I\u2019ll probably do to it: - Window tint \u2013 max legal (35%) or slightly darker - OEM or corresponding Thule roof rack cross bars, bike attachments, and probably a rooftop cargo box - Probably not much else. Maybe the DVD system, maybe a set of TSX V6 wheels or something\u2026 Click to expand... -Remove that terrible dealer sticker.
rain-x blades. cheap and very reliable, once they lose a little bit of that 'rain-x' effect, just damp a rag with rain-x and rub the wiper blade.
I have falkens on my acura mdx on 20s. they're a summer high performance tire. make my SUV handle like a porsche. LOVE THEM.
And timing belt, and spark plug change every 90 K miles or so.
I can speak to the Toyo's from experience. I had them on my RSX-S, 225-45-17. I can only rate them as moderate. Grip is good, but not great. Certainly no better than F1's. Sidewall stiffness also is good, but not great. Press on the sidewall of an un-inflated T1-S, and you'll see. They are not terribly stiff. One thing I would give them an "F" on is noise. They were noticeably louder than the stock Michelines I had when new. And by 20k miles, they absolutely howled. I personally won't buy them again.
