Time for brakes

I have 37k miles and apparently it's time for rear brakes (I do almost all city driving). I am tempted to do fronts too, but at the very least I need rear pads and rotors at this time. I have been pretty disappointed with the OEM rotors. They just seem to warp so easily.

For pads... I have always really liked Hawk HPS pads. I like that they are a little grabby, and very low dust. Open to recommendations though.

What I am really looking for advice on is rotors... Seems like Brembo doesn't make a plain rotor that fits the 2009+ TSX??? I see recommendations for Centric. How are people liking them? Can anyone sell me on the cryo treated vs regular Centric plains?

Any other plain rotors to consider (I don't want drilled or cross drilled)? I saw mentions of EBC, but can't find any plain rotors.

Thanks in advance!

Mark

plain and simple, most brand rotors will do you fine.
autozone rotor and pad combo is great.

try a blank rotor with the hawk HPS pads!

Cool. That's good advice. Anyone else have anything to add before I place an order?

Best advice I can give: Don't get EBC Green Stuff pads unless you want to be cleaning your wheels every 2 days.

We have a set of ROTORA Slotted or Drilled and Slotted rotors in house on clearance. PM us for pricing. Also I'd recommend the STOPTECH Performance pads if you want to improve braking a bit. Remember, you get what you pay for. You get a cheap rotor, you'll get a cheaper quality product.
