Default brakes/rotors

hey guys...i think my rotors are warped...cuz car shakes like mad when applying even light pressure braking down from 70ish...and i already got em machined once...so i think i'ma get some new rotors...questions i had were these...i heard that cross drilled and slotted aren't really worth it b/c we don't even have to brake hard nuff or go fast nuff to brake hard nuff to use em...but i also heard that accords warp rotors fast...so the cross drilled and slotted would take on less heat and warp slower...so what would u guys suggest i should buy/do...and how much u think costwise

I just did my brakes about a month ago. I got brembo blank OEM replacements for all 4 disc, and got AEM pads. My car has got plenty of stop power. If you want to go over kill get the crossdrilled but my setup works just fine and it cost me about $300shipped. Driftking was nice enough to help me out on the install.

I got brembo x-drilled and slotted with axxis metal masters for 160 shipped off ebay. Thats almost about the same if you were to go get OEM rotors and new pads. IMO, why not give it a try, never know what you think until you do.
