looking to replace brake rotor and pads for a set of 5 lug coming soon and there was so much brands and different kinds of rotors and pads i didnt know where to start. for the rotors im looking for something drilled, slotted and long lasting durable and the pads i want the ones that causes less brake dust also long lasting durable. thanks h-t!

 

I currently have Raybesto pads and rotors on my EX, so far so good. If you want less brake dust then go for ceramic brake pads, the issue with ceramic pads is they last forever, and have a high chance of overheating your rotors if you do a lot of spirited driving then a sudden full stop. Haha. If you want more performance, I would suggest semi metallic brake pads. But, will have more brake dust.

 

Thanks that was exactly what I was looking for. Anymore suggestions and imput?

 

Good street performance while you're doing your 5 lug conversion with rear disc get slotted rotors JUST SLOTS, and hawk hps is a street friendly with good braking setup. If you wanna up it to the next level then use hawk hp+ more aggresive pads but will wear down your rotors faster and some stainless steel brake lines and racing brake fluid..Good brake upgrade on a budget.

 

So should I get all 4 just slotted or just the rear slotted only?

 

Just get all 4, drilled rotors will just crack one day..And if you're confused which way the rotor slots go? Do not do picture reference, you have to check the vains inside the rotor which way they go (vented rotors) the non vented ones (mostly rears) you can have the slots go in any way you please.

 

Thanks for the help and imformation, any suggestions of which brand rotors to go with?

If you are just DDing your car then just get blanks, slotted will eat your pads faster than blanks and unless you do a lot of circuit racing, I would find it really pointless.

 

just get brembo or so sort of blanks, with hawk hps pads.

 

I bought a set of Brembo Cross-drilled and slotted rotors with Hawk HP+ pads and i can't complain. They're just fine for a daily and aren't overly aggressive, but they haul you down from speed when you apply them firmly.

Since you stated longevity was a key factor, a set of Brembo blanks is probably more what you need. The X-Drilled/slotted rotors obviously look cooler, but will tend to eat up pads a bit faster

Since the rear brakes do about 30% of the stopping, this would be rather worthless.

 

So I ended up getting near new powerslot rotors off a homie all four for $130

 

Awesome deal
