Hello all! I know this question has been asked many times and I'm sure this won't be the last. I am doing a 5 lug swap to my ES2 this spring/summer and I'm currently getting all the little things together now. I'm trying to decide what brakes to run while also not braking (pun intended) the bank. I have already decided to go with the duralast C-max pads from autozone (want that lifetime warranty) but cannot decide what rotors to run. I have been really looking at the EBC drilled/slotted rotors that they make but I'd spend $300 just on those, bringing my price for brakes to about $500 after I get everything for it. I figured since I am got the 5 lug swap parts from a DC5 it was appropriate to ask this question in this thread.

So, what are your opinions?? Should I run blanks? I don't want them to rust like most rotors do (I know I can't get away with zero rust, but would like to minimize it) so if they aren't already painted, I will paint them with high heat paint. Any tips and thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks y'all!!

I'd skip the EBC rotors unless your going for the looks.Honda rotors are easy enough to R&R.Just go with bottom of the line Centric rotors.I've beeen using these for years & low cost.Take that$300 bucks and buy EBC pads instead.

What's wrong with rust.are you talking about rust on the hat?They all rust except the $$$ ones.What's your goal?From what I read it sounds more like vanity than anything else?

Wilwood rotors may be the answer for you,but you'll need to hunt for it on their site.
