JDM Jackass2 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 OEM/blank rotors are the best. if anybody disagrees with me, they are supid. simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carta79 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Ultimately, drilled and slotted rotors are worthless on stock sized rims. People often have the misidea that drilled or slotted rotors decrease stopping distance. This is incorrect. As the formula for brake torque shows, drilling and slotting rotors does not increase brake torque. Further, most people buy drilled and slotted rotors for street use, thinking they will increase cooling. Ultimately I don't care who you are, you are not going to continually heat up your brakes to the point of needing more surface area, on the street or durring an AutoX. (StyleTeg-Team Integra.net) Brembo blanks That's what I'll be upgrading to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 OEM Anything else takes away from rigidity and brake pad contact area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecollins2 Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Good, don't even think about cross drill and slotted rotors until you're in the formula 1 and have aspestos pads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 i voted oem but i have brembo crossdrilled rotors and ceramic pads.. i want my old OEMs back.. they were down to the ends! i barely had brakes.. i got a deal on the brembos.. i was stupid and bought performance when i didnt need it and now the car stops way too wabbly. i dont like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixitc Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I voted OEM but have Brembo slotted on my 95 Accord. I got the slotted cuz I can :-" With only 8k on rotors, both warped bad. Brake tech was suprised at how bad. Cost me $180 to take off, true them and put back on. Anymore problems and I'll go with Brembo blanks. I do have better braking with the Brembos therefore the staying with Brembos and not going back to OEM. I am running AEM pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM_Hamster Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I like the blanks but not OEM, go with Project Mu, they are great i just bought some two days ago with Project Mu calipers and OEM pads... it works Great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 its very simple really , less heat held in the brakes the better. so mechanically rather than peoples preference , crossdrilled and slotted rotors are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM_Hamster Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 That's what i voted for also... me personally i think that drilled and slotted rotors will work better but they are really expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Any rotors other than Autozone blanks are a waste of money. 3 weekends and they'll be cracked, I don't care who makes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
