Default ot: thinkin of upgrading rotors

I recently bought an accord a while ago. l live in the city, im constantly on the brakes..i notice when i first drive my car, the breaks are great, then after a while ...well when the rotors begin to heat up a little, stopping power isnt that great. im thinking of upgrading them to cross drilled or sloted. anyone know the average price i can get a set for. like maybe brembo or any other descent brand. thanks alot
ebays got 2 front rotors for $99...brembo cross drilled and slotted. is it nesscesary to convert the rear disc to?

98 accord EX 5 spd..128k champ

Rotors won't do anything for you... get new pads. I recently upgraded my front pads to EBC Green Stuff and they're awesome! Much better grab and almost no more fade... the stock pads were horrible. All for $60, easy and cheap upgrade.

If you think those pads are awesome then you would crap your pants on mine. I have Hawk pads and they are amazing.

try a bigger rotor like the OEM brake upgrade to 11" rotors and a larger caliper and PAD size.
