Complete Brake job

Hi Everyone,

Well it's that time that I have to change my front rotors and brake pads and my drums and shoes on my 03 civic.

the originals have served me well.

I was checking the prices at the dealers and they are pretty pricy. so my question is there a brand that i should go with other then the honda ones or should i stick to honda.

Thanks

Re: Complete Brake job

stick with oem rotors, pads dont matter much but hawk hps is well recommended. the rears just use anything, its barely 20% of your overall braking anyway so you wont notice a difference.

Re: Complete Brake job

If OEM is the easiest for you to get ahold of, I would just do that...Like Gearbox said, maybe hawk brakepads if you can find them but it isnt that big of a deal.
