I purchased my integra in March of 95. At 115K the front rotors have finally started to show their age -- I'm getting some pulsation in the brake pedal which appears to be caused by a slightly warped front rotor. I really can't complain -- I'm still running the original front brake pads, and they are only 60% worn.

I'm thinking about replacing all 4 rotors, pads of course, and maybe calipers. I might also put braided brake lines on, but I have always been happy with the firmness of the brake pedal, so I might not bother.

My question to y'all is: what rotors / calipers / pads do you recommend?

I don't expect to do any racing; this would be just for "aggressive" street use.

I would also appreciate any insights about painting the calipers.

Thanks!

 

Rotors: Brembo OEM Blanks

Pads: Axxis Ultimates

Calipers: Leave them unless they are broken.

I had rusty calipers, so I took some of the spray on rust remover that turns to black primer when it reacts with rust. They look pretty good. I don't like painted calipers much, I think they look ricey. Stainless steel brake lines are a waste of money IMO.

 

i would just like to state an observation about posts in this forum:

why do these topics come in waves? there must've been at least 7 brake-related posts all about the same thing this week. last week was about headers, and the week before was about intakes. :dunno:

that is all.

 

Because people don't know how to use the search button at the top of the page.

I think it is human nature to ask before looking.

 

but i'm talking about the trend of topic waves that just rush the forum.

 

I like the idea of using black ... mine have lots of rust also.


Yeah, I should have searched first. :nervous:
