Default Which ones to use???

Hey peeps, gotta replace the front rotors and was wondering which ones you guys are using. They will be for a 98 ex coupe on stock brakes . Let me know your experiences with the ones you use, cause theres so many to choose from. Thanks in advance.

I got Brembo OEM replacements with AEM pads. Works really well, and not too much either, cost me 150$ total, everything shipped from Horsepowerfreaks.com If your up to it, do a DIY with them, theres a few threads here that show you how to do that.

The market place also has a good combo deal on brembo blanks and Hawk pads.

There are other combo deals with brembos I've just been too lazy to look.

Brembo blanks + good pads/fluid = very noticeable stopping POWWA!!!

Just as good as the brembos for a daily. And a little cheaper I'm sure.

My brembo OEM's / AEM pads made a world of difference over mildly used Stock ones

i'd just resurface the oem pads you have now (thats if there oem if not grab some brembo blanks). Then throw on some hawk HPS pads. The HP+ are good to but you get alot of brake dust and its for for a track use. I have the HPS pads with resurfaced oem rotors up front and works pretty well.
