Default which rotor to get??

ive been looking around for new rotors for my car since the ones on it now have worn out on me. i was wondering which rotors to get for my car. after searching around i decided to go with a slotted rotor since i will be using it for daily driving and going to the rack every once and a while. so far i have 3 options in mind, help me decide which to go with and if you know any other ones let me know. thanks

car: 92 civic si

-Brembo slotted rotors
-Power slot rotors
-Rotora slotted rotors

A rotor is pretty much a rotor. Just pick one. I'd actually rather get a blank one.

i'd say go with the blanks too, but something that really helped me was the brake pads if you dont got good ones yet..
pads and fluid

Unless you are going to be putting some hard track time on your car, stick with blanks. You are just going to waste your money on slotted/drilled rotors.

Very true. The biggest difference will be what pad you choose. I like my hawk pads, and get some good fluid. Flush the system completely and put new fluid in it and you'll be happy, I promise.

yes, i was about to say the same thing. everyone says a rotor is a rotor, and then say "get brembo blanks". thats hypocritical. just use standard el cheapo rotors, hawk, or EBC preferably pads, break them in properly, and i doubt you will be unsatified for daily driving.

If you do get slotted rotors, beware of how often you will have to change pads. It'll be a lot more often than you would have to with blanks.

my 2cents, quality blanks, anything but white box specials. and a good set of performance pads. a full brake system flush will never hurt either.
