opinion on this?? im looking for new fronts and rears for my 00 si

 

Neither.

 

how come? thought they were "better"

 

How will the car be used?

In most cases, blanks are your best option.

 

its a lot more then a weekender but not a daily. its put away during the winter in our hanger. its def not a track car but when the ocassional dumb in a mustang pulls up it gets let loose lol often around my town

 

Blank OEM style. Get some good pads and slap them on, in the end it's better stopping power believe it or not, and don't have to worry about cracking the rotors if your pushing alot of pressure to your brakes.

 

If you care about pad life, stick with blanks. If the car sees frequent track use (and not much street), slotted rotors might be worth it if they're well designed/manufactered. I would avoid drilled rotors.

 

well i was looking at brembo slotted rotors just for the front and then was going to run blanks in the back. im not overly concerned on pad wear because it isnt driven daily.

 

are you changing your backs to rotors? if they are still drums, leave them. all or most of your stopping power is in the front, and for the front just get some blank oem's and some quality pads and you'll be fine

 

wow... 99-00 civic Si's come with front and rear disk brakes.

I would go with some Brimbo blanks with good pads.

Unless you heavily use you're brakes when you drive around town, I don't think you would even be able to tell a difference with slotted rotors, but that's just my opinion.

 

Blanks. Its not a big enough increase to justify using slotted. Blank= more area to clamp on. Slotted wears pads faster.

 

yeah drums on my si haha ight well do you know of any quality brands for blanks? or jsut run oem?

 

Blanks! track car or not.

more surface area means more heat disapation, more heat disapation means better breaking.
back in the day... Pads would release lots of gases, thus the slotted drilled rotors to release the gas. currently we use cermaic pads with very little to zero gas release. drilled slottted pin'd dished it does not matter, blanks are best.

 

brembo??

 

duralast?

just get the cheapest ones. you wont know the difference

 

hmm well i can get a good deal on brembo or power slot through a friend who works at a shop. anyone have any experience with either brand?

 

I have some blank brembos on my 93 4dr and find them just fine. no problems whatsoever. also here's some info I found searching "brake rotors" on here, there is a lot more threads too.. this is just the first I found relevant to your question.

thnx man

 

IMO, I'd go with slotted. helps keep the pad fresh for a better bite.

 

I have brembo drilled/slotted rotors on my 99 Si and they are junk. They warp so fast its not even funny. As soon as the pads wear out I will put OEM rotors back on. DO NOT get drilled/slotted rotors.

 

that what i wann no. i have blanks on my si and i get a brake vibe after a few hard stops ,
i dont care about brake pad life but the vibe sucks, sorry to thred jack but im one the same topic

 

its cool man, were your brembos zinc plated? idk if thatd make any difference or not?

 

Both, I have drilled and slotted rotors front and rear lol

 

Drilled and or slotted rotors only benefit you by keeping the rotors cooler during periods of long and heavy braking repeatedly. AKA at the track. Normal driving? Blanks. Unless your a girl and ride the brakes or wait till the last minute to brake??

 

so drilled and slotted suck?
cause i have those in the front, and blank in the back.
