    Re: What Brake Rotors and Pads Should I buy???

    Any drilled rotors I could find for my car would be junk for my application, and check around buddy, there are a lot ot 3 g hatches (like mine) in auto cross, Race cars that have drilled rotors, their rotors cost more than my car...so thats why theirs are good...I have other cars that are fast, and way more suited for it, but I like my hatch, and Its either sell it or strip it(Too bad for my mint interior), and cage it.

    i guess formula one braking doesnt constitute extreme use, but autox'ing a 3rd gen accord does????

    I think the slotted rotors have a bigger issue or prolonged repetative use, but still cheap ebay ones [the kind most people have problems with] crack very easily.

    also the wear factor has also been brought up, its more of a pad wear then a rotor wear, but you get shortened pad life from a slotted rotor also, so maybe you should just stick with a OE replacement?

    Okay, so are you wanting slotted rotors? Or just blanks? Because Brembo offers all three styles for your car. Personally, I like the Nissin Silversport pads... Inexpensive for what they are, and perform quite well.

    i guess i haven't checked around. the only people i know who autocross use like 90+ model firebirds/camaros. but whatever, to each his/her own right?

    but what i don't get is that you come and make a thread asking people for input on a subject that you've apparently made up your mind on. what's up with that shit? you've got opinions on just about everything that's been mentioned(albeit slightly misinformed ones). so just do what it is that you want to, cause you're going to anyway.

    No I'm asking oppiniion, and doing research aswell, and when I find information, that matches with oppinions I tend to go that way, like tthe brembos, no I'm looking into pads, I'm wondering what pads match up with Brembo rotors for the best performance, and reliablity.
