I need new rotors on my 94 accord, and will prolly replace my brake pads at the same time. I dont really know much about brakes.. any suggestions??

 

get ahold of the rotors and pads yerself, the rotors should be like $40-$60, ull save $200 over getting them from the shop.......if u dont have any friends that know what theyre doing, dont attempt to change the rotors......theyre pressed on, and are a bitch to get off......

 

what brands should I be looking for??

 

direct OEM from honda, or OEM Replacement Brembo Brakes....DO NOT get slotted or cross drilled......theyre a waste of money...just get good pads and new rotors

 

I picked up a set of OEM rotors from ebay for $20 NIB

 

Since owning my Accord, I've changed the front rotors twice. The first time was with Honda OEM replacement rotors. For some reason they seemed to wear kinda fast... and there were grooves in the rotors. I don't remember what type of pads I had at the time. When time came to get new ones again, I went with Brembo OEM rotors and Axxis Metal Masher pads. I got them off http://www.coximport.com for a grand total of $124.74 with free shipping. The rotors came out to be $34.12 each and pads were $56.50 as a whole front set. I can say that braking definitely improved, but there's still some fade if you're in traffic. Just make sure you wear the new rotors and pads in for the first couple of hundred miles- ex no sudden and hard stops. Also, to agree w/ fw190bvi, slotted and cross drilled are basically a waste of money unless you take your car to the track and really need something of that aspect. Oh yeah and watch out for bull **** sellers of "Brembo Cross Drilled Rotors" that basically modify and drill holes into Brembo OEM rotors.
