i have a 1994 honda prelude si and was wondering if this kit would be good, and also if anybody has used this type brand and i would like to get some feedback on the performance and reliability of this product.

Why do you need that?

 

i want stopping power for competitions, building a race car.

 

Thats good for a race car. And just go rotors and pads in the back. But for a daily driver those drilled rotors wont last long. There prone to cracking over time. I go with slotted and i've been real happy with my setup. I use Powerslot, I dont have any experience with Wilwood but i know they have a good reputation.

 

Fastbrakes are good guys. Their kits are good and work well for racing. I would get blank rotors not the drilled or slotted ones though.

 

Whats wrong with the slotted or drilled?

 

which one is better drilled, blank, or slotted? i want to know if i got this right, drilled means that they will eventually crack and i will have to replace and slotted are almost the same thing but wont crack?

 

You guys need to do some research on Rotors.
I'll help you out by giving you a link to start at: http://www.superhonda.com/foru...04172/

 

1) I have seen more than just a few drilled rotors crack when used in road racing.
2) drilled or slotted rotors go through pads faster than blank rotors(more cost)
3) less pad to rotor surface area then blank rotors = less braking power
4) drilled or slotted rotors cost more than blank rotors (again more cost)
5) Now I know the drilled/slotted rotor guys will say "but the holes/slots let hot brake gasses escape from under the pad faster!". If the brake pad manufacturer feels this is needed they will incorporate a slot into the pad itself so it's not really needed on the rotor in most cases.

I have tried several difference rotors / race pads on my race car and the blanks seem to be the way to go for our cars. A good brake ducting system to get some cool air to the rotors also helps.

Now for drag racing, I would think the smallest lightest drilled out rotor would be the way to go.

I would deff agree with that. sounds like you have the experience. although, In my opinion slotted would be like a happy medium. better braking power than blanks and don't eat up pads like the cross drilled.
And the look sweet!
