Hey guys im getting ready to buy some slotted rotors do I need to buy new brake pads or can I use the pads I have right now. The pads are not even a year old.

 

why spend the extra money on slotted rotors? There won't be any improvement over regular rotors like brembo blanks. Anyways, no, you do not have to change the pads if you change the rotors.

 

r u suggesting drilled instead?

 

if you're trying to get better stopping power with slotted rotors, i'd suggest getting some brembo blanks and some performance brake pads. if you're going for the bling factor the slotted rotors are cool, but performance wise, better pads are the way to go

he is suggesting blank rotors.



have fun

 

Yep, suggesting brembo blanks. I just put a set of brembo blanks on after my powerslots warped. The powerslots were fine, but they were $150/pr and blanks are only $50/pr. The blanks stop every bit as well as the slotted rotors did.

As for the bling factor, slotted rotors end up every bit as ugly as regular rotors and you can't tell that they are slotted from more than 15ft away.

 

Where can I find the Brembo blanks for my 92 CX...

Thanks

 

Groupbuycenter almost always has a group buy on them.

 

I use Autozone rotors. For brake rotors, get the cheapest available!

 

I`d start w/ better pads rather than new rotors. You`re not going to feel much of a difference at all. Just a waste of dinero.

 

bought my brembo blanks from http://www.nopionline.com

That has been my approach as well, i have had zero problems. If I were to shell out the extra money for some brembos, I would definitely get the cadmium coated anti-rusting variety. Otherwise, for just blank rotors Autozone works for me.

 

brembo blanks for sure

im in class right now but will get u a link for where to buy when i get back. I ordered mine for my old gsr and i had them within 2 business days - normal shipping costs.

 

http://www.collettimotorsports.com/ offers some of the best prices in terms of blank Brembos

 

autozone

 

NAPA bottom of the line rotors are brembo blanks. i was told this by a friend that worked there for a long time. im runnin them and i like em

 

What about middle of the line NAPA rotors? I got those awhile back, they work fine...

 

I gots the powerstop crossdrilled rotors and stock pads... it's night and day over stock.. the cross drilled grip retarded especially with the soft stock pads... it chews right into them instead of vice versus.

for money saving DEFINATLY go with brembo blanks though...

 

using OEM rotors, what would you suggest on pads? I know they make a difference.
What do you guys use? I still have the same pads when i bought my car last year.

 

Hawk pads are pretty good

 

I use the Hawk HP Plus pads and they stop ok while they are cold. My only issue with them is that they produce a lot of dust.

 

Brembo blanks, Axxis Ultimates, and ATE SuperBlue fluid. I have it and have no complaints. Only makes a very little bit of noise on the street and only produces a lot of dust on the street. I did Mid-Ohio and only had brake fade once, and that was after braking from 110 down to about 60 and 5 or 6 laps.

I'm happy with brembo blanks, AEM pads and ATE Type 200 (same as superblue, just different color). However I'm probably going to try a different pad next time. Been looking at either Porterfield R4S, Carbotech Bobcats, or Hawk pads.

 

As I said I like the soft stock pads...

they dust-a-lot but they are great and no noise... no warming up and I've never had fade even after a couple of 120-60 hard braking.

Good setup. I love Nissin... They make honda's pads...
I still want to test out some project Mu pads - heard great things about them!
