I recommend Brakemotive if you are on budget if you have money to spend then get Adam rotor or XLR8 Acurazine package for higher built quality. You get what you paid for so don't expect to pay little and get top of the line quality.

I had ebc slotted and dimpled rotors, with hawk hps+ pads, they stopped pretty good but produced way too much brake dust for my liking, and were super noisey. Now I currently have napa premium rotors, with ac delco premium pads, they stop almost as good, and produce about half the dust if not less.

Brakemotive's are pretty nice, and at 150 for pads and rotors you really can't beat the price.

you sure can use autozone rotors and pads

Just FYI, checked the Autozone website, and a set of 4 rotors with front and rear Gold C-Max Brake Pads comes out to $266 before tax.

Those are the Brakemotive rotors, which come out to ~135. The Autozone rotors are 166. Then just pick out some brake pads to go with the rotors and you're good to go.

I purchased front and rear slotted / cross drilled rotors from brake motive.

I also had a set of F&R new OEM brake pads. So I ended up using those.

When I had my accord I used Axis Metal Masters which seemed to last a bit longer.

OEM brake pads seem fine with these rotors.

No they don't, but you can paint them if you wanted

You get what you pay for. If you get a replacement part it will likely fit but how will it perform? How long will it last? How durable is it? If you want a tried and true product then I would recommend STOPTECH brakes. That's why we put together our AZ brake packages with STOPTECH components.

Dont buy that junk from the auto parts store. They are the lowest quality stuff and still usually marked up higher than the better quality stuff you can get from a vendor here.

I got all 4 slotted rotors from R1 concepts E line(the cheaper version of their two rotors) off of ebay $160 shipped,
only because rotors are maintenance items for me and I can DIY (no labor in changing rotors)

I will get Stoptech curved vein ones once I crack my ebay rotors.. I was in doubt if these eBays are gonna hold up to near-track condition (if not harsher than track conditions of most drivers), well I'm alive and typing this right now lol no sign of warping at all.


With carbotech competition pads, they were brought up to glowing red hot a couple times and still okay.
aftermath is this nicely bedded rotor (I couldn't stop right away to take a pic so it's a little scraped off but yeah)



why is the edge of the rotor white btw? did the "zinc plating" burn off..?
