Default Brakes/Rotors and pads

I need to get new rotors and pads for my 96 accord. I have brembo corss drilled, yes they are real, and they are warped badly as of right now.

It is really affecting my ride and handling, makes the whole car shake. so let me know what is the best!

Get Brembo blanks. Cross drilled are usually too much for a street car and that is the reason they're warping. The drilling makes the rotors less stable, and frequently they will just crack along the holes rather than just warp. There's a few sellers here on h-t that have the best prices i've ever seen!

would there be any reason not to get slotted rotors. since there is no problem with sturctural integrity due to no wholes. Does that make any sense i want the best rotors, and slotted are alittle more performance oriented and thats what i want.

I have a feeling if you ask around youll get the same response, that for street driving youll want just blanks as they are overkill.

If you really want to upgrade, get better calipers (mmm 4 piston), stainless steel brake lines, and some nice pads, wrap it all up with some Motul, and call it a day with Brembo OEMs.

Basically a big brake kit.

Axxis, hawk, EBC are all good brands for pads. If you dont like squeaking dont get metallic pads

I personally would go with Brembo/Power Slot slotted if your a daily driver, or cross drill if you do a lot of high speed breaking.

I dont like blanks because they dont dispuse the gases with out you getting off the brake pedal.

If you go slotted id get prob. high grade AXXIS pads or something eqaul. For the drilled I'd prob. go with AEM or something for extreme racing.
