wow, good to have you around. Yeah they are a good HFP option... but for the price I think I would rather spend $400 more and get a big brake kit.

Do the rears fit on the 06 SI? I have Brembo Big Brakes on the front already, but the backs could use a little help.

Not sure from which forum but read that the rotor kit upgrade was only for cosmetic. Can someone confirm this? I figured the rotors are slotted so heat dissipation should be better than stock.

no def not cosmetic. my honda rep has been raving about them for months...and im sure everyone can agree that slotted rotor systems have much more stopping power than the average braking system

Not trying to be a dick but slotted rotors don't offer "much more stopping power". They help with heat dissipation & pad glazing. Your pads are where your major stopping "power" differences come from.

The *can* make a difference. I threw them on one of my cars where I had a problem with the pads glazing a lot and it made a big difference. Pads didn't last as long but it wasn't a huge difference (I lost maybe 5000 miles) with repeated braking. They also tend to look pretty good as well.
