Will these from a 95 accord, BRAND NEW, work on my 97 accord? What will it do? What is the purpose? Just saw it on ebay cheap that's why i asked...

 

yes they will fit.

 

I can partially answer your question...YES they will fit.
As to which version you're looking at, I can only guess.
There are three types offered by Brembo
a) Blank(s) (standard OEM replacements)
b) Slotted (grooves cut in the sweep surface)
and
c) Cross Drilled

Brembo will warranty the first two (2) but offers none for the cross drilled versions due to cracking issues.

...Hope this helps

hey anyone know major differences between slotted, and X-drilled? which is better for which use?

 

ill for warn all of you before changing front brake rotors on accords it is not very fun hub over rotor sucks

 

Cross drilled was the original modification made to rotors to control gassing and to add additional cooling to an otherwise stock rotor.
Spiral slots came along latter in answer to cracking issues found in cross drilled rotors.
The problem with cross drilled units resides in the holes themselves. If they are not champhered (blended to the friction surface) they form heat and stress risers adjacent to the holes, forming cracks from uneven heating.
Slotted rotors offer the same advantages as cross drilled (de-gassing and additional cooling) but also add an additional benefit of cleaning the pad surface as the slots edge traverses across the pads' face.

With the advent of exotic brake friction materials (ceramics, etc) de-gassing is not as great a problem as before. So, between that and the cracking issue, most people opt now-a-days for either quality Blanks (OEM style) or slotted rotors.

Darn cross drilled rotors look so nice too!

 

I opted for the 99 CL 2.3 RoH setup since I need a bearing replaced on my 93 lx.

It's not cheap, but you avoid the HoR sceanario which isn't cheap either.

I'd have to agree with you on that one. This is my biggest pet peeve with Honda. I can't believe they'd use this setup on the 90-97accords and change back to the rotor over hub setup in 98. (They used the rotor over hub on the 89 and older accords...) It seriously pisses me off.....I'm about to do a rotor over hub conversion, and by this point, I'm really thinking of going 5 lug too...
