Hello,

Looking to buy a good quality rotors for my civic si 00 .
All after market rotors in my country are generic chinese products which last about 6,000 miles only.

My options are :

- OEM rotors for $200
- international order (guess brembo and centric are good brands to consider) approx. for $ 210

Any body have experienced the differance between the above and which is the best to consider?

 

Just go with OEM if the prices are that way.

 

Since prices are almost the same.
I just want to know if brembo are really better than OEM.

Any other feedbacks??

 

the rotor itself is not going to make the world of difference. brembo is a great company, i've used them for a while now. But if your looking for any type of noticeable difference you would be upgrading more then just the rotor

 

when switching from chinese crap products to a good qaulity products, there should be some differance.

As for pads, going to get HAWK HPS pads.

 

Forget Hawk pads. Akebono pads. Excellent stopping power plus next to no brake dust. Brembo or OEM. Makes no difference.

 

umm, so what is the main differance between :

- Akebono ProACT Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad
- Akebono Performance Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad


Note: Im not looking for track use.

 

Where are you finding - Akebono Performance Ultra Premium Ceramic Pad?

 

Rockauto.com

 

Other than Rockauto I'm not finding that pad. All I've ever seen and used are the Pro Act. I'll probably be safe to say that it's a coin toss.

 

Just read many positive comments about Pro Act. gonna give it a try.

Now..Centric Premium Cryogenically Treated Rotor vs Brembo ??

Any experience with that?

 

I bought these myself and i havent had any problems.
I was able to get Steel braided brake lines for 62.00 ( all four )
I switched to dot 5 while i was at it to. ( 20.00 )
