Re: Brakes (RUBZERK)
Since owning my Accord, I've changed the front rotors twice. The first time was with Honda OEM replacement rotors. For some reason they seemed to wear kinda fast... and there were grooves in the rotors. I don't remember what type of pads I had at the time. When time came to get new ones again, I went with Brembo OEM rotors and Axxis Metal Masher pads. I got them off http://www.coximport.com for a grand total of $124.74 with free shipping. The rotors came out to be $34.12 each and pads were $56.50 as a whole front set. I can say that braking definitely improved, but there's still some fade if you're in traffic. Just make sure you wear the new rotors and pads in for the first couple of hundred miles- ex no sudden and hard stops. Also, to agree w/ fw190bvi, slotted and cross drilled are basically a waste of money unless you take your car to the track and really need something of that aspect. Oh yeah and watch out for bull **** sellers of "Brembo Cross Drilled Rotors" that basically modify and drill holes into Brembo OEM rotors.
