Prefer blanks that hopefully wont warp, and ceramic pads, don't care about looks just solid braking, don't get me wrong i like the rotoras but you can't resurface them if they warp.

well if blanks warp and you resurface tehm they will do it again even faster due to less material.

60k on mine before they started to warp

had the same problem. just bought Brembo Rotors and Stock Acura/Honda pads. Braking hasnt been this good in the history of the car. time will tell whether or not the rotors warp, but i did my research and spoke with many people who did the same thing before doing it myself. lets see how it works out. post back with your rotor/pad choice.

Hawk pads are alright. I have HP Plus in the rear.

But it seems like the EBC Greenstuff has been receiving many good reviews. I'm going to check those out myself next.
