Default Anyone have experience with RS-R Front brake rotors?

Checking out these rotors by RS-R, for my 93 DX hatch:
http://www.turboimport.com/catalog/92civic.htm

The ones for $115:
"High Performance Brake kit for stock calipers"

1990-2000 Honda Civic DX VX CX LX (NON ABS)
Dimpled/Slotted brake rotors - zinc coated
(pair of front rotors only)


Does anyone recommend them? Or can you recommend anything else thats better than the OEM discs and pads? Thanks

Get some new Brembo OEM replacements, put new fluid in your car and get some better brake pads such as Axxis Ultimates, from here http://www.cobaltfriction.com or http://www.carbotecheng.com/, sloted cross drilled rotors do not improve braking they are just for looks, you can do all of this for less than the price of this kit, and you probably see more of an improvement in your braking.

Agreed. Save your money and get the Brembo OEM rotors.

I have slotted/drill brembo's on my hatch in the front stock in the back I'm about to do the same in the rear....

If you really want some give sales@raceconcepts.net an email, talk to Wood he'll hook ya up......I he can beat teh RSR price and for Brembos.

So I'm kinda confused. Are the OEM rotors like say from the dealership made by Brembo? Or are these OEM Replacement rotors. And I'm taking it that they are not slotted nor drilled? Are they at least vented? Where can I get them, and whats the prices I should be looking at? Thanks.
