does my car have? does it matter or should i get strictly oem

 

you can get oem but for the pric of new pads and resurfacing just get new rotors. i got brembo slot/cd and pads for around 75 bux. good deal.

 

get some brembo or OEM pads

 

Alrighty........
I have tried these pads.

EBS green stuff ( kevlar )
Seem to have high fade (despite the claims) and smelled terrible. Although others rave about them. I WAS NOT IMPRESSED IN THE LEAST. Maybe just not good with integra brake sytems.

Metal Master semi-metalic
Mutch better than EBC but still have a little spoungyness (not sure if related to pad) but feel similar to stock. GOOD CHOICE

OEM (nissin)
OEM has been one of the best pads. Nissin is a respected company and these pads are excelent quality.

My next choice is AEM (ceramic-Kevlar fiber compound)
As you know ceramic is used in race applications. This pad is also made specifically for Japanese import brake systems from Nissin.

Semi-metallic have a higher brake fade than ceramic, but ceramic is only effective at high temps. A mix between the two seems logical.

 

Powerslot rotors are pretty good too in the way of rotor replacement. I've had mine for over a year and they don't show any serious signs of wear.
Of course that is for street legal driving.

 

I've got 60,000 plus miles on Autozone $12 ea rotors and 30,000 on this set of Autozone $15 pads (Albany semi-metallic). Pads are lifetime so when they get close to the wear pin I take em back and get new ones. Rotors haven't warped yet or else I'd get new ones too and since I change the pads out before they score the rotors no need for them yet. I don't drive hard but not old lady like either.

 

Colbalt pads seem to be what most of the HC peeps are running.. they are very dusty and very noisey however.. I would get OEM, and if you ever track your car, have the collbalts and put them on for the track

 

Brembo DOES NOT MAKE crossdrilled AND slotted rotors. You got blanks that some 3rd party drilled and slotted, and that is scary as hell.
