Default Brake Rotors

Okay, I'm just learning stuff about my car and I'm too lazy to take off the rear wheel to see so, Is my 1995 Honda Accord EX 4-clyinder equiped with 4 disc brake rotos or 2 in the front and 2 drums in the back?

actually you are ordering brembo blanks that have been machined by (probably some shitty) shop to be cross drilled...most end up cracking on you, which can do damage to your calliper...there's also absolutely no point in having drilled, slotted or cross drilled rotors for street driving...the whole idea behind this racing technique is to dissipate heat under numerous heavy braking situations...

i would also hope that you are not blind enough to not be able to see the rotors behind the 5th gen EX wheels...

On the 6th gen accords rear brakes were on option I believe.

Don't get crossed drilled rotors unless the manufacture sells them like that. If you upgrade your pads, calipers, fluid and lines your braking power will be substantially better than oem.

5'th gen EX is standard 4 wheel disk and the LX is front disk/rear drum. So you should have 4 wheel disk I found this out at cars.com BOOKMARK IT
