whats up guys i got a 95 accord lx and its about time for some new pads and rotors anything u guys recomend?? i mean its my dd and stock...

i mite just do the advanced auto cheap pads and rotors but j.w. what my options are. not looking to spend more then lets say 120$...

thanks and post up links if you got them.

 

powerstop rotors and pads. great performance. cheapest place i found is right here. http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Brake-Ov...LH_TitleDesc=1

 

^^ how have they worked on your car with wear ect? do they make noise? and lot of brake dust? j.w cuz thats not a bad price im thinkin ima buy them

 

you said it just your DD right? Just get some Brembo replacement rotors and a decent pad. On my 95 EX I had Brembo replacement rotors and a carbon-metallic pad from AutoZone that had a lifetime warranty, it had good braking performance and little brake dust. Plenty for a DD. Also remember to replace the fluid if it hasn't been done for a while.

I didn't see any power slot rotors in the above link but on TireRack the Power Slot rotors are 60 ea while the Brembo replacements are 38 ea.

might not hurt to check out the sponsors forum, might find a deal or two on brake parts.

 

those are all power-stop brakes. autospecialty is the what those brakes are, which is a line of powerstop brand. i bought front and rear for my integra and my grand am gt, and they are awesome brakes. no dust, no noise. i've ran the car pretty hard too, and never had any brake fade. they have a cross-hatch on them when you get them, and after 1,000 miles of not so easy braking, they STILL have the markings on them. they are pretty good for the money. brembo is another good brand to go with. anything that isn't valucraft is good in my book for that matter, lol.

 

ah, power stop, I read that and saw power slot for whatever reason on me

personally, I'd still stick with Brembo rotors.

 

as for rotors, i think brembo's have a better heat dissapating capability than the powerstop's would. i've driven cars with brembo's and they felt alot different than my powerstops do. they felt more solid if that makes sense. almost like they were a more stable set up.

 

I've got Power Slot slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. Had them put on along w/ new calipers + wheel bearings and so far they are fine!

Didn't really notice to much of a difference until I was going around a sharp curve @ about 65mph on Friday and it locked up the tires w/o any problem Fun!

 

i want some gold colored roters, who makes the beast kind like those?

 

umm, anyone makes gold coloured rotors, its just a coating they put on the metal...
My Brembo Sport Slotted rotors were shimmering gold when new but two weeks on the hawk HPS and it loses that shine... its just an initial coating and it wouldnt last with any aggressive pad

That said, www.tirerack.com and www.buybrakes.com has brembo brake pads on clearance, they will go great with the rotors...

 

make that ANY brake pad

 

Whatever you do don't but cheap pads. Its like buying a cheap condom! You don't want them to wear out or break!

 

I actually managed to crack a set of wagner quickstop pads in half, while not cheap they definitely are not expensive...

If I remember right the wagner thermoquiet pads have a $30 rebate right now, not bad at all and worth looking into

However, since moving up to Hawk HPS, its hard to go back to "common" pads
