What kind of Rotors and Pads to get??
hi
ive got warped rotors and violent shaking when i brake so im gonna get new brakes. Do I need to get them for the front and back. or jsut the front for now? Also, what kind of brakes should i get. I jsut wanna get something decent, about oem performace or higher.
ive been looking into opparts rotors, brembo rotors, hawk pads and oem honda stock pads?
I m new to brakes and have no idea... also where can i get them installed for cheap? Thanks for any suggestions you guys may have!!

i had to search for rotors and pads for my bros acura cl and id tell ya its alot harder to find then accord parts. heres the deal whats your budget? rotors can cost a pretty penny try to take a look at your rotors and pads to see if theyre all worn out. normally the rear rotors and pads last longer because you dont use it as much as the front. so if you cant afford to replace all four (i think itll be better if you do all four just for uniformity[word?]) you should change the front at least. hawk performance pads are good pads but a set of front pads cancost around $60. it all depends what youre looking for in performance. brembo of course is a very trusted name in brakes (at least i think it is)
what is your year and trim? whats your budget and what kinda performance do you want? i might be able to helo you look.
oh yeah i almost forgot cheapest place to change your pads and rotors.....
your own garage/driveway it really isnt that hard

I'm installing my front rotors/pads tomorrow. I got POSI Ceramics and Drilled/Slotted (C-Tek blanks)

EDIT- So basically, the pads/rotors are from the same company. I know, I know...mix is better...but I got a sweet deal.

Watch yourself with those ceramic pads.... they don't brake as well as OEM pads when they are cold, once they heat up a bit they will grab like an SOB though.... if you're auto x or racing just ride your brakes to heat them up as you pull up to the line before launch so they are consistent from your first corner all the way through..
