Default Upgraded Brake Krew

Help..
for my 07 Si. daily driver but soon to be weekend auto X.
any suggestions on a decent set of rotors, pads, line, and fluid?
not much help in the 8thgencivic web site....
ricer mentality runs rampant there

looking to keep everything under lets say $700
and thoughts on Rotora slotted and Hawks HPS pad?
Thanks in advance!

skip the slotted rotors unless you need new rotors and just get HPS pads or similar pads plus new fluid.

new lines are necessary and i would just save the rest of the money for tires :chuckles:

Autox tracks are so short...do you really need fancy rotors? I would just get some oem Brembos, a set of aggressive pads, SS lines and change the fluids

But then again, I like to speak out my ass

i've used both HPS and HP+. HP+ is dedicated track pads and takes a little bit of time to warm up to bite. so I stick with HPS since they also work very well on the street, you get that instant bite without any warm up time

I bought my PBR / Axxis Metal Masters from importrp.com

It gives the wheels a nice gunmetal coating after a couple days ;o
