I have a small problem I am looking for slotted rotors for my 96 Spec Type R (four door JDM). I wanted to use the OEM brake calipers but i would love to have just a LIL more bite(also i just love the slotted look. Any suggestions?? also how low is too low for Tein HR suspension. I got it from a friend that totaled his JDM Integra SI (GSR in the North America)

i know brembo makes a beautiful slotted rotor, i couldnt resist and got the cross drilled and slotted. either way, theyre stock size. caliper had no problems fitting. unless youre running high hp or really racing through town like a maniac, stock size should be ok, especially if you have a type r. arent your rotors a little bigger than a non- type r anyway? i suggest you just go with the brembos, when i got mine they were actually a tiny, tiny bit bigger. hoped some of that made sense...gl

 

just get brembo blanks. you'll save money. slotted and crosdrilled actually have less mass for the calipers to bite down on. and they eat up pads like crazy. FYI brembo doesnt make slotted/c-drilled @ that stock size. so if it was slotted and c-drilled it would have been done @ a machine shop, on a cnc machine. oh, and if they drill it all the way through, the rotors have a tendancy to dimple and make a funny sound when braking. (like a finger barley touching the blades on a personal fan)

I would invest in a good quality pad. pads are determined by use and prefferance. for street use only, alot of good things have been said about axxis ultimates. (not metal master, MM) other options include, hawk sp+ (plus), ebc greens or reds. and then there are race application pads. race pads tend to work better at high temps, and can squeel on the street. some pads dust worse then others, etc. etc. just search on H-T and find what suits you best. good luck

p.s. slotted and c-drilled also tend to warp easyer. i had to turn mine after a year.
