Yep, Brembo, EBC, Wilwood or Baer . all make good rotors. Power slot makes decent rotors as well. Personally I'm not shure If I trust AEM with my brakes. My engine yes, brakes?? I prefer to leave that to companys that Specialize in Brakes.
You got burned....Brembo does not make a sport disc package being drilled & slotted. Only the GT brake kit comes like that. Sport rotors are only drilled or slotted. You got brembo OE rotors unfinished sold to a third party who slotted and drilled them....
I'd go with Power Slot, Brembo, Power Stop...
If you got $ for a kit....Wilwood, Brembo, Endless, Stop Tech, Baer...

I see your application list it the same as Brembos. But every time I see it, I'm convinced they don't have anything for our cars because:
They associate the brakes for the 6th Gen Civic as 96-01 instead of 01 or at least 02+. I don't know what to believe because I don't want to end up buying brakes for a 6th Gen Civic when I'm very sure they're different up front.
It makes me wonder has Brembo ever released something for our cars. I would believe it if they're years were correct, but I see they haven't even touched the RSX yet unless the list I see needs to be updated.

It's nice to finally hear some verification... I think. But I think they should update their page. In about 4 months, we'll be seeing 2004 Civics and Brembo's site(s) saying 2001.
I didn't get burned, the rotors got Brembo logo inside the rotor where all genuine Brembo logos suppose to be. and no, my rotors aren't backwards, yours are.
Dont' forget Brembo's 01-02 slotted/drilled rotors are same as 03s. Check your new catalog from Brembo. I got mine from SEMA
it's weird, I looked at my bike's drilled rotors. They are the other way, and then I look at some GT cars and model cars, the are the same way as mine. maybe u can have it both way.
I determined which way mine was facing by looking at the OEM rotors. the OEM rotors have marks on them like slotted.
Unless you do a lot of auto-crossing or racing, drilled/slotted rotors for our cars don't do much for everyday driving. And it's not like we drive super fast cars either.
And unless the rotors were specifically manufactured with drilling and slotting in mind (which usually only come on expensive high-performance cars and NOT Civics), all that extra drilling and slotting on solid rotors (sometimes by a guy who has a drill-press in his basement) will just weaken the integrity of the rotor.
If you're doing it just for looks, then great. But for any other purpose, I would just stick with high quality solid rotors... just my opinion.

Brembo DOES NOT sell Xdrilled and Slotted rotors. Its one or the other. They say brembo on them because they are brembo blanks. A shop bought them, and did the machining work, not brembo. Those rotors are intended to be smooth surface like a stock brake rotor. The real ones are about $160.
What Brake Rotors should i get???
