Do yourself a favor and buy cheap rotors. Don't mess with drilled/slotted unless your willing to pay for looks. Look into upgrading to VTEC calipers/rotors for the front and if youre not RACING at all just stick with OEM Honda pads from Honda, not some cheap parts store crap.

***Ok, now you can lock it!***

What are you upgrading for? You could do anything from new pads to aluminum calipers and huge rotors...

Hawk HPS (high performance street) are pretty good.

Get some sticky or stickier tires and Hawk pads, VTEC conversion if you're on Si's and call it a day.

Be sure to stock up on wheel cleaner if you go with the HAWKS!!
Like I said, if youre not RACING.....OEM VTEC pads will make you the happiest. I have tried so many different pads out there and after 6yrs of wasting my time I came back to OEM Honda Pads.

amazing brakes and actually pretty low prices considering what you're getting. I purchased a 13" wilwood rotor/caliper combo and I'm highly impressed!

Right there with you Clint and Andy. Once I wear through my Hawks, I will go back to OEM for the street. I still love the Hawk Blues for the track, but the HPS' dust quite a bit more than OEM.

I would also recommend OEM rotors. If you are not replacing rotors every season or twice per season, then splurge and get Honda Rotors. They use a finer iron that will keep your braking feel a bit smoother and will offer better "initial bite" when used with the OEM pads.

Brian.

Im debating between getting a brembo or endless? Any suggestions? I was going to do the legend upgrade but the parts have been to costly compared to just doing a big brake upgrade.
