Can some body guide me which brake pads and rotor to go for my Honda civic lx 4 dr sedan model...? and from where?

thx

 

Aem are awesome pads. The dust they produce is a lighter color so they don't show up too much on wheels. I got mine from adventon.com. I am still using stock rotors, but I have heard lots of good things about brembo blank rotors.

 

U da man !. Any insight on which is best search engine to search for best prices on the web for all of the above.?

 

my best bet would be to go through www.tirerack.com

I used them to get my brembo crossdrilled and ceremic pads. they're reletively cheap and they deliver really quick.
The ceremic pads are awesome, they produced little to no brake dust and they do very little wear on the rotors themselves, and the stops just as well as composite if not better. thats what I'd suggest, but hey, just my two bits

 

You should also check out EBC Green Stuff brake pads. I am not sure who sells them but you can try a search.

 

Which ones I should go for "cross - drilled" / "slotted" / Plain ones ? And should the breaks be of composite material or ceramic ones ?

 

A lot of people argue about this. Some people say that crossdrilled/slotted rotors can crack more easily and some wont. But slotted/drilled run cooler than standard flat rotors because they let the air in.

As far as pads, with ceramic you will have very little if any dust but they wont last as long and ceramic carries no warranty. Its fine to get semi-metallic just get a good brand.

Everyone will have a different opinion on this so do what you want to do.

 

Great.. Then I'm thinking of getting Brembo Blank rotors and Hawk HPS pads (Composite material) ... how that sounds

 

Whatever you want to do should sound good to you. I am about to buy some EBC Green pads and four Arospeed cross/drilled rotors. I've never seen how good the Arospeed rotors work but I guess my car will be the test donkey. I just have to get this damn rear dsic swap first!!

 

i would not cheap out on brakes of all things.



personally, i'd go with brembo blanks and aem pads.
