hey guys... well its time to replace the rotors... i have a 91 accod LX.. coupe. i was wondering were the best place to get some new ones were.. should i go with drilled, slotted, or drilled and slotted.. well any helps gonna be great.
thanks guys

 

i have some rotors(drill and slot). i have a pair for 90-97 accord with me. make me an offer.
the most popular design is drill and slot. i know, because i sell them. my user id on ebay was extremerotors. the only reason why i stop selling is because i just open a business producing the rotors. i produce for one of the biggest seller on ebay.(***NOT those cheappy guys that sell a set for $170 or $150). let me know if your interested.

 

what kind of rotors ya got.. and i am intreseted.. so let me know what ya have

 

These are the same rotors that IROTORS Sell on Ebay and on their website http://www.irotors.com. The pair that i have are manufacture for Brembo, but i produce the final product. The reason is, Brembo do not do this design. If you want to know the brand, Yes, it is Brembo rotors.

That doesn't mean they are the best rotor or the best for everyones situation. Not trying to discredit you or anything. I've read of a lot of people have issues with drilled & slotted rotors. I've also heard of a few people not having any problems but mostly people have problems like cracking. Thats just hearsay though, but I know that it has a lot to do with the process in which you drill and slot them.

OP:
what are your intensions for your car? Daily Driver? maybe some weekend autox?

I've never had slotted or drilled rotors, but I have had Brembo blanks and they were great. I would say get a set of Brembo blanks, good pads and good fluid. I think one of the things people most over look is the fluid.

Also, do your research before attemping to do this job yourself. They are plenty of threads on H-T about the front brakes of 90-97 Accords. Read through them and see where people have had problems and what people have done to do a successful brake job.

 

well i was told that i am going to neeed to replace the barrings too... do these come with the new rotors?? and how much do you think they would cost.

 

no bearings do not com ewith the new brake rotors. and im pretty sure you dont have to replace them but ask some other guys just incase. and accordtouring was rihgt. when it comes to the front brake system it isnt really that easy of a task you have your work cut out for you. and personally i have slotted and drilled and they work great on my accord i have a 95 lx never had problems with them. i have brembos as well their a pretty damn reliable brand if you ask me.

 

i drive this car as a daily driver.. i am getting some 17's and want to fix the rotors be4 i put the new rims on. right now the rotors are making the tires wear unevenly.. i plan on picking the rims up the weekend of the 9thso i would like to fix these fairly soon... thanks for all the help

Are you selling the fronts only, or do you have the rear ones too? I may be interested. Thanks.

Do you mean the wheel bearings are making your tires wear unevenly?

The hub is pressed into the bearing. So you would need to press the hub out of the bearing and press the inner race off the hub. Then press the hub into the new bearing.

Do your research. See if this is something you can do yourself or not. If you can't, maybe you could remove the knuckle from the car then take the knuckle and new parts to a machine shop and have the disaasmeble and then reassembly them for you. I had to do this when my bearing was rusted into the knuckle. They charged me $25 per side for the labor.

 

well i think i am going to take it to the local shop. and tell him to make it right.. i know the guy so he wont charge me to bad.. thanks for all the help guys!!!

 

oh, your in MI. Where is Ada? What shop are you going to take it to?

 

well Ada is gonna be 15 miles east of Grand Rapids (West side of the state) and i am going to take it to tuffy... i have a friend that knows the owner and says that he can hoook me up.

 

ah, ok. Well, hopefully you get a good deal.

yes sir, i can also get you the rears. Total will be $180 + shipping. If you are not happy with my price....its ok....you can get the pretty ones on ebay....
i can also apply some high temp. paint around the vital areas to protect from rust free of charge.

 

Thanks anyway man, but I just ordered some blanks yesterday. Good luck.
