Default Brake Choice Brand Suggestions....

Alright I got my brake pad (HAWK Performance HPS Series) & I tried to order Brembo front OEM disc rotors but they are always out of stock almost anywhere
so is there any other brand recommended
(if it's just OEM I might as well buy the rotors at my local auto part store)

Thanks

I have EBC slotted and dimpled rotors and love them.

I don't have money for performance brakes. Just need something that would last me a good 1-2 years or so. I drive economically....

New rotors should last about 4-5 years, and Hawk HPS pads are a great upgrade from OEM pads and are a bit cheaper, about $55/pair.

unfortunately my rotors are pretty bad because I have crappy pads during the time & wore down the rotors like nothing.

what about Baer (its cross-drill & slotted)

then again there's always Honda Genuine OEM since I believe their rotors are made by Nissin

any suggestions?

summitracing is good ..... if I were you, I'd try a little harder to find the Brembo blanks.
