Brembo Sport Brakes
I just baught 2 Front and 2 Rear Drilled/Slotted Break Rotors & Pads.
Says its a direct bolt on, direct fit.. but is there anything im goin to need to get the most outa the breaks?
But these are both Disk plates, and my rears are Drums.
Plus it came with Zinc Plated.. so should I keep my OEM breaks for winter cuz road salt would eat the zinc wouldnt it?
Heres the Item:

I thought brembo only offered their rotors in either drilled or slotted, and not both on a rotor. Plus, the real brembo drilled or slotted rotors are Bronze in color, not silver, like their OE replacement rotors. If you got it from ebay, its most likely redrilled to resell as "performance" brakes.

Brembo OE replacements work good for a basic street setup, along with good pads. I paid $60 for 2 Brembo blanks from nopi.
Search for "cracked rotor" on HT or the internet. You will find that crossed drill rotors tend to crack.

Re: (waterboy)
im betting the front dont fit either, because you ordered them for a car that had rear disk which means the front are probably 10" or 10.??" and since you have rear drum you probably have 9.?" front disks

Re: (evade this honda)
I'd send them back...you wasted $250.
Go order blank rotors for your front disks, and get a set of Axxis Ultimate brake pads.

How do you hope to install rotors if you don't know the difference between drums and discs? Of course they'll fit...if you had disc brakes in the rear. If you don't, and you have drum brakes (which you do) how could they possibly hold a guarantee like that? Would you trust your life with such work, because that's what it'll come down to with brakes. And spending $250 on a set of rotors...yikes. Good luck I guess, cause you'll sure need it.
