my rear pads always seem fine but front are like their they are oem want to upgrade to obx drilled and slooted rotor and the red stuff pads should i just do for front want to see peoples opinions thanks

 

drilled/slotted rotors with ebc red stuff pads will glaze, and eventually squeal.

stick with just slotted rotors, with hawk pads. Best combo!

 

what kind of rotors if any if you huys have thoughts on brands also but umm well **** should i also replace the rear or i could put on some new oem on reaer and just upgrade the fronts

 

if I were you id stick to all OEM brakes..drilled and slotted rotors are pointless unless your producing a lot of HP..if you really want drilled and slotted rotors...Id just do the front first because thats where like 83% of your braking is.

 

for rotors, get Brembo blanks (front and rear)

i agree get the blanks. If you get drilled and slotted rotors u will just have a big headache. I have seen way too many of these come in with cracks on the rotors

 

why do ferraris use brembo drilled rotors if they arent good and crack?

 

IDK, why did the chicken cross the road?

 

dosent really matter how much HP your car produces, the whole idea behind a drilled/ slotted rotor is to keep the rotor surface cooler therfore resisting break fade-

They DONT! Do you see any drilled/slotted crap on these babies? Oh wait..

 

I have ran Brembo drilled rotors over the years with great succes, as far as pads go I would be more concerned about "what" they are made out of rather than "who" makes them..a little trial and error is a good way to find out whats right for you -good luck

 

All I'm saying is that good rotors should NOT crack if properly broken in. Following the wear-in procedure allows the metal of the rotor to "temper" or harden over a few hundred miles. If not followed correctly, they will get too hot and warp immediately due to the soft nature of the steel right out of the box.

Also, drilled and slotted rotors will not help you stop quicker in the sense that you are thinking they will. They will cool off quicker and resist heat, which will in turn fend off brake fade and keep them working properly at higher operating temperatures. (which in a sense, will help you stop efficiently everytime instead of the first few times only) Now, BIGGER rotors WILL help you stop quicker.

 

I don't have any experience with drilled/slotted rotors but I like my Brembo blanks.

 

Because people who buy Ferrari's can afford the high cost of turning drilled rotors, and I bet they are better quality than what you will get for an Accord.

 

okay so i should get brembo slooteed with their pads just for fronts

 

they are recommending you get brembo blanks..they are not drilled or slotted they are like the OEM disc brake just better.

 

can someone enlighten me as to WHY brembo blanks&gt;honda replacements from the dealer

price is not a factor

 

cheaper alternative to the stock rotors and the material they use is better i think? dunno but brembo blanks and hawk hp good combo...but it really comes down to what kind of driving your into

jackass.



The drilled rotors seen on the Ferrari's are cast with the holes.

Normal drilled rotors are blanks that have been drilled, which is why they are weak and crack under heat.


BTW. When installing any OBX part, there is a good chance it isn't an "upgrade"

Brembo blanks

I also run Brembo blanks. Brembo doesn't sell drilled/slotted rotors out of their factory. They are ALL BLANKS. What these shops do is get Brembos and machine them w/ slots/holes/dimples.

 

You can get Brembo blanks from Nopionline.com or you used to could anyway. I think they were like $35 or something I'm not sure what the OEM ones are but the Brembo's were fairly cheap and I like them.

^^^For 6th Gen^^^

i'm sure you can navigate the site for your gen

 

Autozone rotors with choice of aftermarket pads. I'm using autozone rotors and pads and have no complaints for DD use.

 

i hope ur not using ebay springs are anything too

i SUPPOSE if you are uber careful and w/e hopefully they hold up in a "panic stop" as well as honda brakes
