The back-inner side of the rotor got bad worn (due to slightly bad wheel bearings, replaced!)so I got the rotor resurfaced, and the PADS got 90% meat left.
Question:
Should i get new pads? if yes, wat brand? NSX OEM cost $150 F**@#(@*&#! Does ACCORD, TYPE R, S2k, TL, CL, Legend pads also fits?
Does the SLOTTED rotor has DIRECTION? (like directional tires)

thanks guys!

You'd better hope that it's straight.

If you don't, the pedal and the brakes are going to feel like crap until they wear in.

You should replace the pads every time you resurface or replace the rotors, unless they've have almost zero use.

What pads are you using currently, what car, what power, what purpose, what price range, and what aspects of braking are you looking to improve by changing pads?

You play with big boy toys, you pay big boy prices.

If you think that's expensive, you should see what the OEM Ferodo pads cost for '04+ TLs with the Brembo calipers . . .

NSX front calipers use FMSI D503 pads, so pads from any car using Nissin 17CL15VN calipers will fit ('97-01 ITR, '97-01 CR-V, '97-99 3.0CL, '96-98 3.5RL, '95-98 2.5TL/3.2TL, '95-98 Odyssey, '95-97 Accord V6, '92-94 Vigor, '91-97 Accord wagon, '91-95 Legend, etc.).

No. It doesn't matter.

I just picked some 97 ACC V6 pads!

the rotor direction depends on on how the ventiliation is setup within the rotor. if it has straight vents, then it is uni directional.

Does the SLOTTED rotor has DIRECTION? (like directional tires)

Yes it does. It all depends on the company. Look at how they are on the NSX and put them the same way on your car.

The internal vanes should rotate in such a manner that they create an internal airflow from the inside of rotor to the outside, not the outside to inside (or cooling will be somewhat impaired). This means the leading edges of the vanes should start on the inside of the rotor.

I'm cheap, and have been known to sand and / or machine damaged or unevenly worn brake pads back to a flat / parrallel surface. Pads can be clamped t a faceplate on a lathe and machined flat, or sanded on a plate (then checked for squareness with a vernier caliper). Pads 're-condidioned' in this way act more or less like new pads.

The only proviso is that I would avoid using pads that had been severely overheated. You also need to be conscious of any dust you might produce because you don't really know what materials might be in any given pad, i.e don't produce it if possible (water during sanding), and use a respirator (just in case).

both of the rotor has the same direction and pattern, so either way, i will get one side correct and the other side wrong...
