Just get blank discs. I had good results with Axxis Ultimate brake pads. Good street/ light tracking pad.

You lose brake surface area with cross drilled or slotted.

you do not loose brake surface area just because the rotors have little grooves and holes in them theyre just as thick as O.E. . also you can get the rotors turned if you need to just like any other rotor the reason i suggested brembo is because you get what you pay for. you want junk then buy 3$ rotor and pads if your still concerned after this than stick with O.E.

Thickness and surface area are two different things. Anyway, I'm on Napa cheap blanks ($25 each) with Hawk HP pads and it's a good setup. A little dusty, but not bad

aside from you not being able to understand surface area, and the fact that brembo does not manufacture drilled AND slotted rotors.

Re: (street_accord94)
Powerslots (cuz they look purty) and Hawk pads This is what I use for "aggresive" driving and I've never had brake fade. (I cannot say the same for oe pads)

Re: which rotors and pads are good? (aznevanchoi)
there pointless. Unless your getting them purley for aesthetics. If you knew anything about physics you would know that Force = Pressure x Area. Therefore if your taking area out of your rotors by drilling holes then your losing breaking force. The reason they have drilled rotors is because the pads back in the day used to give off a gas that would build up and cause you to lose breaking force. The newer pads do no exert the same gas, therefore blanks = the best.

Re: which rotors and pads are good? (BrockNB)
btw, cross-drilled rotors USED to be designed to evacuate gases caused by brake pads. However, now that pads do not to this very much anymore, heat evacuation is the main use for them. Which is a more serious problem when talking about brakes.
As per getting bigger rotors and keeping OEM calipers.. I wouldn't bother. And odds are you're actually going to lose stopping power.
If you upgrade the rotors, upgrade the calipers. Single-Pot calipers are pretty ghetto anyway. Save the cash and get a real brake kit from http://www.fastbrakes.com. THAT's worth ur time/money.

Re: (ImPuLsIvE)
I'm not sure why trial members get on here and think they know everything, I would have to agree with the above posts saying that almost any rotors from an auto parts store will be fine. Don't bother with cross-drilled or slotted for street use. If you don't have a vtec model you may consider upgrading to vtec calipers and if you like less pedal feel and more immediate power you can go with a 5th gen master cylinder. Also many aftermarket brake setups are not intended for street use, they are intended to be inspected after usage.

I was looking at Brembo kits, and for my 92 prelude they say "EXCLUDES VTEC".
I'm a little lost on this...
