Default wtb rotors

i did my rear brakes, but i was convinced to use the cheapie chinese rotors. the pads are wagner, but i think it would be good to change them out, braking is already a bit rough
should i go for the fancy cross drilled or slotted rotors? would they even fit? i wouldnt mind payinga bit extra for them, but where should i get them, if at all?

Use Brembo blanks. Best price for them seems to be from www.importrp.com and if you hunt around h-t.com there is a discount coupon code for them. Don't use the cross drilled or slotted crap. I like Hawk HP+ brake pads, but whatever you use, don't forget to bed the new pads in properly. That will make a big difference in the performance and longevity of your setup.

Email them your request. As your car is older, they may have not included it on their website for space considerations.

Yeah Mike, go with Brembo blanks. You will have no trouble with them fitting, they are factory replacements.

I'm thinking that you should go with Honda oem rotors for your car then.
