EDIT: Sorry the car is a 2002

Hey everyone, my girlfriend has an '01 Civic EX and the rotors are warped. What is a decent brand of rotors and pads that are maybe a small step up from OEM in terms of performance without being real pricey. Im a bimmer guy and dont really know what brands are considered with Hondas. Basically im just wondering what a good street pad would be that would be low noise/dust with a good bite and would work good with stock or aftermarket rotors. And I only will consider blank rotors, no x-drilling or slotting.

The brembo blanks are a good rotor. As for pads, i have the hawk hps. They are pretty good but the dust output is noticeably more than the OEM pads.

 

How long do the Hawks last? Wheres a good retailer, and about how much should I look to pay?

 

Personally I would go with the brembo rotors and OEM pads

 

Who sells Brembo blanks?

 

do a google search and you'll find them quick. I don't know of any off hand.
I would like to see a pic of your BMW. I like that body style.

ha this is so incredibly off topic but thanks for posting the pictures, looks nice and clean.

 

blackhelicpter,

you can purchase hawk pads at any pepboys store for under $50. brembo blanks will probably have to be purchased online.

 

try tirerack!

 

http://www.importrp.com has the rotors.
Pick a pad, Hawk, Axxis, whatever. There's only so many places that make brake pads, all the major good ones are going to be the same regardless of the car.

 

autozone rotors and pads, lifetime warranty and work great

 

Try Stoptech might be expensive though.

 

i have the same exact car and i had the same problem actually, over the summer. i just put on rotors from flippin' advance auto. they're fine unless your girlfriends a street racer, IMO. and if she is, then kudos to her
