Hey guys, well i have a question for you.


My family has a 1998 Accord (EX i believe) and well.... the breaks are warped beyond belief, they shake the whole car when you break.. haha yea its bad.. anyway, what would you guys reccomend, some slotted, or just stick to stock? im thinkin of doing it myself, so any tips appreciated.

if it's just a daily driver and no one drivers like a race car driver then stock OEM pads and rotors is all I would go with.... unless you're breaking quickly from high speeds all the time, then you don't stand to gain that much from the slotted rotors....

I second what sir_nasty said. I do have slotted and cross drilled rotors on the rear of my accord. They were cheap and they fit but they can make a soft ssshhh under braking. I imagine that these rotors will probably eat pads pretty quick but they look good and stop just fine, of course most of the braking is done up front and those are new honda factory rotors and they work great too.
