Default NOPI Break pads and rotors

A friend and myself are thinking of purchasing pads and rotors from nopi for his 2002 V6 and my 1998 4 cylinder. Does anyone have any suggestions on the products themself or installation of the rotors and breaks? Any pointers will be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

www.tirerack.com sells AEM pads and Brembo rotors. I ordered them in the morning, they shipped that afternoon from Looseeanna, arrive next day.

I also order my SS brakelines from them.

dont buy them from NOPI...they charge too much....

goto http://www.performancecenter.com/ and pick out your model and whatnot and there will be a list of rotors and pads for less and alot more brands to choose from.

Ok, I went ahead and bought some cross drilled / slotted rotors (brand= "number one") and some AEM metallic pads. Now that I am trying to install them, the holes in the rotors for the small screws don't match. I can put the rotor on fine, but I cannot tighten it down with the small screws. Does anyone know if this is how it is supposed to be or did they give me the wrong rotors? BTW, the box is labeled for 98 - 2002 accords. Thanks.

its not that big of a deal if the holes don't match up. its the wheel that holds the rotor on so don't worry about it. I believe jschmid was talking about this in a previous thread, so if you scroll down a bit I still think its on this page, or a page back.

edit:here is the link.

just make sure you torque down your lug nuts to the same amount...if not you run the risk of warping your rotors

Yes, but buy only the best Autozone components. Their inexpensive stuff is cheap.
