Replacing the rotors.. looking for insight.

I'm looking into replacing my rotors and brake lines with aftermarkets/performance ones and have a couple questions? Will the spaced (vented rotors) still fit with stock calipers? How come only a few people sell rear rotors? What companies are good and what companies should I stay away from? Thanks for your help!

sorry to say but your car is not on the priority list for parts- tsx guys get everything!
Check www.heeltoeauto.com acurazine sponsoring vendor
RacingBrake.com rotors are rock solid and dont warp even under severe use

The rear rotors only do 30 percent of the braking- so not as much demand for slotted rotors
The side vents-slots do not make it any wider- they do allow for outgassing by the pads under severe use

as long as u buy the correct fitment for the car, you should have no fitment issues with the caliper over the aftermarket rotor... i used Rotora slotted rotors all around... but it just takes time to order... we currently also share brake components with other models...

look into the two thread below of what Colt and I did with our brakes...

slotted just wear your pads out faster. Unless you're driving a lemas car, theres no need for slotted rotors.

read those how too's kam posted. Either way you are swapping rotor thickness which is where the warping issues come from.

Just get stock replacements for the rear.
