im in need of some new rotors,,and pads
,,and just wondering what u all may be runnin on your civic
i have a 94 SI with ABS
im thinkin of going with ebc green's
unless someone has another maker i should look at
my car is just a weekend driver,,
but cant decide on rotors
here r my choices
fastbrakes.com
-all 11 inch upgrade,,using stock calipers(only kind im lookin at that are bigger then the stock size rotors
brembo slotted rotors
power slot (slotted)
power slot 2(slotted and dimpled)
EBC sport groove(slotted and dimpled
these are all around 300$$ or cheaper for all 4 rotors together
the fast brakes are 685$$ for all 4 rotors
well let me know what u all think
should i look into any others??

I am running the complete wilwood package, no mix and match of brake parts here. wilwood 4 piston calipers, 12.2 inch wilwood 2 piece rotors, wilwood s.s lines. wilwood t compound pads. I got it from overboost.com.
I have the Fast brake 11" kit using the stock caliper and let me tell you that htey are great!!! the car stops so much faster than before! (i have the plain rotors w/ metal matric pads)
Installing them took 4 hours becasue the caliper brakets needed to be milled 2 thousands of an inch
i have 16 inch eneke rpo1 rims and they barely fit

I am running oem/brembo blanks.
Fronts are 1993-1996 Prelude VTEC 11" rotors with 2000 Prelude VTEC calipers on 1994 GSR Integra 4x100 knuckles. I believe you can run this setup on your EX knuckles. I had to swap over knuckles since I drive a 1992 CX. *So there may be easier ways than Fastbrakes for you to upgrade to an 11" front setup if you want that and you can use a much larger caliper with a much larger brakepad which will give you much better resistance to heat induced brakefade. Pads are oem honda for now.
Rears are Integra discs but I still chose oem/brembo blanks. Pads are oem honda for now.
Pads are tricky, when I get the money and my current pads are more used up I will be getting Porterfield R4S pads at all four corners. I have driven on them before and they are amazingly responsive and capable for street and autocross use. I cant wait to run those pads again!
Rotors, I used powerslots before and they were a HUGE waste of money... their price is high and you do not get any performance improvements unless you run brakepads with technology from 1965 which I am sure you will not do. Slotted and drilled rotors are a waste of money, save your dough for bigger and better things... better pads, fluid and perhaps brakelines.
