My rotors are warped unfortionatly(sp) and I want to get all new brakes, rotors and pads. What are your suggestions, without shelling out a ton of money. Also does anyone have a link to a tutorial on bleeding the brakes, i just want to make sure i do it correctly.

 

let me say it like this, https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=258480

is it described correctly in this post?

 

if the breaks are just warped and not really damaged then just get them cut and they will be good as new, and the break pads get oem if you street drive most of the time. save mad cash.

 

how were you able to tell that the rotors were warped?

 

i hear a noise form them as the wheel turns... my rear brake around the edge it really scraped up, something is rubbing hardcore into the rotor and screwing it up... a few to many high speed slow downs, i'm sure warped em

 

Autozone rotors and Hawk HPS pads. Cheap and works great for the street.

 

doesn't autozone have some kind of warantee?

 

Yep I believe so. Not that it matters because they are $24 a pop.

 

omg i just called autozone they said the only rotor they got for my car (civic si) is some extreme rotors that are $70 each!

 

also where are do you get those hawk hps pads?

how are the carbon metallic brake pads from autozone?

 

I went with Brembo Blanks and Axxis Ultimate pads .. brakes feel a lot better over the oem pads and napa rotors i had last time .. prob the most economical braking performance youll get for the money ... brakes do not squeek or anything ..

Why don't you ask about brakes for your CIVIC in the CIVIC forum? This doesn't have anything to do with the Integra Type R.

The Integra Type R forum is NOT a lifeline on "Who Wants to Be a Millionnaire".

 

Andie Lin at Cobaltfriction.com is who you need to talk to. I upgraded my OEM equipment to Brembo blanks and Axxis Ultimate street pads. Boy is this one hell of a street setup compared to the stock equipment. I love it so far. I spent roughly $220 on all 4 rotors (rears are actually more expensive than the fronts) and like $150 for all 4 pads. Not a bad deal because i know this stuff will last me a good deal of time. One more thing, the Axxis ultimates do not have that much dust at all but bite so hard. Just my .02

andie.... maybe i would have been a little more awake if i had all those Hot S.FL hunies to look at (;

 

Don't believe the hype...I've been down here in S.Fla for over a year...not a single date. Then again, I don't pimp the NSX on the beach on weekends...maybe I need a set of chrome stunnas and a lift kit. <grin>

LOL Andie! You need to see the hunnies here in O'town. They are everywhere. No need for the lift kit here....get some of light up windshield washer nozzles and they flock right on over!

edit: not knocking any windshield washer nozzle owners

i'm sorry, i just think the people in the type R forum are more knowledgeable, and I actually get somewhere with my questions and get along with you guys better. I'm sorry if i'm a nucence(sp)

do what they said above. Also, when you got the time, take your rear (whichever side) wheel off and try to analyze the problem with your brakes or whatever it might be.

 

ahhh andie u dont need the money hungry hoez anywayzz... you need to just buy a civic and slam it ... and leave the nsx in the garage as a surprise down the road .. ive got a couple work friends of mine that moved down there to work at a different branch of our company ... said women everywhere and the clubs were loaded .... jax has some too just all spread out and high percentage of Neckzz |:
