Brembo is usually what people suggest/get for rotors.

Not sure about the pads.

Brembo blanks if you're just looking to replace without any upgrades and Hawk pads. I have Quietstop ceramics and they work decently but I wouldn't recommend ceramics on the stock rotors because they tend to get really hot and warp my rotors... or maybe it's just my driving style.

Thanks...What about doing PowerSlot rotors and Hawk pads on the front and Brembo blanks and hawk pads on the back ? Is it ok the use different rotors on the back axle, since they are smaller pads and less braking is done in the back???

It should be fine to use different brands. Keep in mind if you get vented/drilled rotors you're going to eat through pads faster. Also, EBC Green Stuff are pretty good pads.

I just noticed you have a 95. Does it have discs in the back? I have drums...

I have Discs in the back...It depends which model 95' you have..I see yours is a LX, and mines an EX..and back then my EX was the "luxury" accord, so maybe thats why...

Yes, I noticed that too. I just didn't think they put rear discs on any of them. Are you doing the labor yourself? If so, be prepared for a lot of work on the front. It's really confusing to get the rotor separated from the knuckle.
