They may just need adjustment.

Have a mechanic you trust take a look at them. Replacement isn't difficult or that expensive, but adjustment is cheaper and worth looking into.

Don't guess you need new pads. Inspect them. Get under the car and look at them. It does not take a rocket scientist to see if any meat is left on your brake pads.

You should take your quality vehicle to the dealer, have the brakes checked and if needed have the dealer do it with dealer parts. It has amazed me for years that someone will go out and spend good money for a quality vehicle and cheapskate through repairs and not use quality dealer parts.

Brake pads are measured according to coeifficient of friction & thermal capacity. Which means how much friction & how much heat that the brake pad can take. The higher the thermal capacity the more expensive it is. Mugen sports brake for Acura & Honda has a thermal range from 0 to 500 degrees Celcius. Racing pads range from 300 to 800.

I have a tuning file for an audi a6 but mines a quattro. does it make a difference?

I don't think Toyota pads will fit on a Acura. The shape of the pads are totally different. You may consider getting other aftermarket brands such as Stop Tech. They have a wide range of application for most makes & models.
