:dunno: what to say... Have you tried OEM pads? My brother in law has worked on Hondas and Acuras and feels that OEM replacement is the way to go...Personally I think that Integras have a tendancy to go through rotors and brakes..Perhaps it's a design flaw...At 17K I had Acura warranty replace my rotors and pads and at 32k they had to do it again...Most of the 69K miles I have are freeway miles and I really don't bake all that hard except in an emergency situation..Even now I can detect that the rotors are warped slightly..Hope this helps..

if the caliper was frozen you'd see tons of brake dust on your wheel in a short period of time.

i know cause one of my calipers froze up on me

if one of your front calipers froze up you'd def. notice.

i'd look into hawk's next. i've been using axxis metal masters i'd like to try my luck with something different.

stock Integra brakes leave a lot to be desire, my question is that don't aftermarket brakes generate more heat and grip at a higher heat coefficent? how well will the stock rotors last? .... I had my stock rotors completely warp on stock pads and just swapped to aftermarket rotors and pads
