Got my AEM pads
I got a bomb deal from SMA, they hooked me up for $50.
I was told I should upgrade my oem rotors too. They said no oem rotor can hold up to any aftermarket performance brake pad. Sounds like some powerslots may be in my future.

I hope the oem one's are stronger, but even still, I'm gonna get some slotted rotors soon.

probably those narva germany bulbs...after doing more research, i found out tehy are made by philips for aftermarket type bulbs for audi's and BMW's. I guess phillips is more of a OEM brand and they wanted to go for the aftermarket, so they made NARVA, i'm gonna pick up a pair for like 30 bucks i think. www.suvlights.com check em out.

$50 isn't a great deal, i got mine for like $46 or 48 from nopi last year.
anyways they are just trying to sell you rotors, aem works fine with stock rotors. they are actually BSing you totally cause it's the rotors that tear up pads generally especially slotted rotors. aem pads are basically one notch up from oem honda, they are not a racing pad and will not do anything to hurt your rotors.
get some brembo blanks or honda rotors if you need new ones.
