97 Civic Hatch-B18C6 (yes, 6) ITR 5 Lug Brakes (stock)...


I'm looking for a good deal on a set of rotors and pads. I searched and I found that a lot of you guys use Axxis or Cobalt pads. I'm not trying to do a 24 hour le mans race or anything, maybe do a little autoX or road race on an open track day. I want a set of pads that are better than stock but not a set that is going to turn my car into a dust machine... So what kind of rotors, what kind of pads.

Thanks...


Cross into the blue...

 

Autozone OEM cheapo replacement rotors, Cobalt GT Sport pads, ATE superblue or Gold brake fluid. Will set you up for autocross and light/novice track days, Not road racing.

As per dusting, you can't have your cake and eat it too. More aggressive pads will dust more. The key is finding a pad that is not formulated out of caustic paint eatincg material. GT sport pads will dust more but are safe and wipe off.

That all sounds perfectly reasonable!

 

Thanks a lot for the advice.


Somehow I knew someone would give me the "you can't have your cake..." cliche'.
