slots and drills, they may look good, they may stop you faster/cooler, but you will play holy hell with your brake pads. I would recommend just upgrading your current brakes. For basics, get Brembo O.E.M. blank brake rotors, axxis/aem/good brand name pads, and paint your calipers silver or black to keep them from rusting and looking nice. If you want to get better response underfoot, get stainless steel braided brakelines as well. If you want to go all out, an AEM big brake kit or Brembo Gran Turismo would look great, but theyre like 1,000 bucks and you need to have 17's to fit them.

Oh and check before you get them, some Honda's have rear brake drums and you dont want to waste your money on stuff you dont need. And for gods sake dont get those slotted drilled brake covers for like 20 bucks, everyone can tell and it's silly looking.

 

they are called brake rotors--not rotators fyi

 

how do you know that your brakes are getting "way to hot"?

Judging by the title, I had NO idea you were a trial user.

Quick fact since your question has already been answered. Slotted are good as long as you don't mind paying a little more often for new pads.

If you think about getting drilled rotors - Buy ones that are forged with the holes already in them, not ones that are drilled out afterwards. Drilling rotors after they are forged can be a brittle, more insecure design.
