Default Disc Brake which one is good for Accord

Hi,
I have an Accord EX 94. Needs to change front rotors because it is shaking bad at high speed when braking..
My question is. Should I put in OEM Honda rotors. or should i go with Bembo those slotted drilled rotors?

I had in cheap rotors before and it is not good. My mechanic said Honda Rotor works better... just want to know if aftermarket high performance is better then HONDA.

thank you.

I see no advantage to those other rotors for normal driving; I'd replace rotors with OEM.
if you can find a shop with an "on car brake lathe" you can have the rotors resurfaced.

Brembo makes good rotors, but I don't think they make them slotted or drilled. Most of those 'Brembo' drilled rotors have been drilled by anybody, good or incompetant...

Drilled or slotted rotors don't brake better, they just handle lots of repeated hard braking better. You shouldn't need that unless you do much road racing.

Afteryou replace or resurface your rotors, brake them in like this:
Brake hard from 50 to 10 (don't come to a complete stop). Let them cool by driving for5 or 10minutes. Repeat 10 times. Don't be stupid with traffic conditions while you do this...
