I went to Pacific mall (canada) wanting to buy some brembo rotors. The guy there I usually buy stuff from told me aboue Magnum Rotors which is a cheaper brand of Brembo. He said they're pretty good, but I've never heard of them.
Has anyone ever tried these? Or at least heard of them?
If they're good, I'm hoping to buy some Magnum brake pads as well.
Oh yeah, another question is, who here in canada thinks our ABS sucks? Shit always gets me INTO trouble, and not out of (when on snow). I have yokohama winter tires, they're not the best, but man the abs just keeps doing its thing, not allowing me to stop in time...

I also live in Canada (I have actually been to Pacific Mall) and think that ABS is GREAT!! Try this test (make sure you do it on a side street)
1. wait for snow
2. Pull the fuse for your ABS
3. Get up to about 40 km/h slam on brakes
4. Measure stopping distance
5. Put fuse back in
6 Repeat steps 3 and 4
7. Learn to love your ABS and maybe think about SLOWING down in the snow!!

If you want Magnums there is a Guy in Scarborough that sells rotors and pads for $70
abs takes longer to stop the car, thats a proven fact. the only "advantage" is that you have some steering control while braking. as for pads, i like oem semi metallics.

hawks are great, the best pads ive have/riden on are HAWKS HP PLUS...
the "plus" differs from the regular HP because its made out of ferro-carbon, which is a high-tech friction material that was developed and manufactured for sport driving in autocross, Solo II and “track day” applications. The Ferro-Carbon formulation offers lower wear rates and higher torque values than other competitive materials.
HOWEVER, these pads are very squeeky and you will hear grinding noises for the first 1k miles....
yet......they are the best stopping/feel i have ever had/driven/own (for our civics)

just wonder if you have the HP or HP PLUS?
does ur squeek? im thinking of runing the regular HP....if they are quieter... im getting a lil too old to care about the "extra" stopping power...just at long as its better than stock.

how can you say brembo brakes suck they are one of the leaders of brakes out there. they come stock on evo sti and the new nissan se-r they are incredible brakes.
Well, I'm going for Hawk HP pads, not HP Plus, because the sqeak makes the vehicle sound like it's not taken care of. I'd hate to get that look, after all I've done to make my car look nice lol.
I'm also purchasing the best winter tires available, Bridgestone WS-60's. When I say "best", it's according to statistical reviews, obviously every manufacturer will say their own tires are the best.
Hopefully it'll help with my ABS situation, because this function is rediculous. I didn't stop for over 100 meters, going only 50km'h because of the stupid ABS, in 1mm of snow!. Good thing there was no one in front of me. Save me from a bad situation my ass, more like PUT me in a bad situation.
I remember that night, when I got home I went online looking for a different car to buy haha.

the OEM spec brambo BLANK rotors.....suck
they are an awesome brand, but unfortunately, when it comes to our civic's oem rotor.....only honda oem does it well.
