Which is better for a DD, not race brakes

 

well ceramic is best know to be quieter and produce less dust than the rest.

 

Don't be a fool get Axxis Ultimates - they are ceramic. You will love them trust me.

what did they cost you?
where did you get them?
is this on an unmodded (front disc/rear drum) brake system? or a swap?
what rotors? what did they cost you?

 

just go to honda and get there oem brake pads. they'll work fine. i have them on my sedan and i do some autox with them too with cheap o autozone rotors.

 

what are the differences (if any) btwn hf and dx front rotors?

 

^^^ do a search on that. don't know off the top of my head.

 

I did that 1st, no mention of hf rotors

thanks for the reminder though

BTW
what kind of life do you get out of that setup?
do you have drum or disc rears?

 

I am running Axxis ultimates on my si hatch with a Fastbrakes front big brake setup and rear disc swap and while the stop the car on a dime cold or hot they are VERY dusty as in 2 days after I wash the car there is noticeable dust on the wheels.I was told they dusted quite a bit for the first few hundred miles then they improved well 3500 miles later still very dusty.....but damn do they stop well

 

yeah, it's a ex and i still have the drum rears. oem honda pads, no squeak at all(but still make sure to put brake lube/grease on parts that need it). haven't had a problem with them yet. had them for two years and with two seasons and still have good padding left. but my driving style might be different then yours.

 

ok thanks for the nice feedback

my exp will vary from yours 90_EX_Civic, from what I do know of crx's they are front brake eaters under the best of conditions, relatively speaking

 

you could always try ceramic. heard they last pretty well even for brake eating cars.

HF rotors and calipers are smaller and lighter than DX/SI rotors and calipers. But DX/SI brakes CAN be used on HF knuckles. As for the pads, I would recommend nothing but Honda brake pads for a daily driver. Aftermarket pads tend to be on the abrasive side, and tend to both wear quickly AND eat rotors along with them.

 

go for the pfc carbon metallic, there performance and have lifetime warranty down at autozone.
