New pads and rotors.
Picked up a new civic, the pads and rotors are basically garbage there's a huge lip along the outside of the front rotors and they're warped. Just looking for suggestions on what kind of rotors and pads to get, 93 civic hatchback.

Re: New pads and rotors.
Stay away from slotted or drilled rotors, most shops will not turn them because it can ruin the tips on a brake lathe. So if you have any problems liek warping, then you throw them away. They are designed for high end racing applications, and they have the budget to get new ones every race. For a street car, they are a scam.

Re: New pads and rotors.
The EBay seller R1 Concepts has good prices on rotors. I put them on a friends car and my aunt's car and I have a set to do my rear disk conversion.
Wagner or the Wearever Gold (O'Reilly Auto Parts) pads are made by Federal Mogul, which is an OEM supplier for Honda, Ford and other companies. Again, used both and no problems. These usually run $10-20 more than other pads, but they'll usually last a lot longer.
