I suggest Brembo blanks and oem pads. Cost me just over $100 for front rotors and oem pads shipped. They also have slotted and cross-drilled rotors as well as performance brake pads if you fancy any of those.

Is that really a good combo? You don't think I need drilled or ceramic or anything all high-speed like that?

Slotted and cross drilled rotors will not make you stop any faster than blanks. They are merely there to help with cooling, but that will most likely not be a factor on a daily driver. Slotted and cross drilled rotors also reduce the brake pad to rotor contact surface and will eat up your pads quicker than blanks. They are also really expensive. Most people like the Brembo blank + perfomance brake pad setup like the axxis or hawk pads.

I'm not sure about that. Private message "Import RP" about it. He is the H-T sponsor and can help you with info and ordering. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=831188

Very reputable h-t sponsor. I recommend them all the way for brakes.

I have run 11 Autzone blanks for the last 2 years with many open track days and they have survied quite well. The nascar Select pads from autozone are pretty good, Axxis ultimates are better and carbotech bobcats are even better still. Don't worry about cross -drilling the do not improve stopping distance and are not worth the money.

I always buy from http://www.importrp.com

Brembo blanks and Axxis Ultimate pads work for me.
