And to put them on, make sure you have some break component cleaner...
Remove the wheel, remove 2 bolts on the caliper, remove the caliper, remove 2 small screws on the rotor, remove the rotor, apply new rotor and screws, spray down with break cleaner, put in new pads, put back caliper, put back wheel. It's more simple than you think...there's a DIY for it here. Hope that helps!
And remember, it's a very very good idea to put in new pads with new rotors so the two seat together more properly. And breaking in is key for maximum breaking performance.
Tirerack has brembo blanks for fairly cheap as well here...just make sure you put the proper make for your car (this is for an ex coupe). From previous gens, the best combination I've heard of is Brembo blanks and AEM pads. Give me a PM if I can help more!

Hello;
You can get the crossdrilled from Tirerack.com for $161.00. Those will keep the rotors coller and help keep them from warping and glazeing from brake heat.
7th gen civic rotorstirerack.com - search for your year and make.

Cross-drilled/slotted doesn't help unless you're under extremely heavy breaking conditions! It's a myth unless you're autocrossing! You get it for the looks...nothing beats a pair of blanks - no chance of warping because it's one solid piece!

Avoid Drilled rotors!!! they are prone to braking. Slotted is the way to go. especially if you autocross like me.
even Brembo says that their drilled rotors are not recomended for race use or for use on the street in conjunction with High performance brake pads. they even say Drilled rotors give a "Ready to Race look"[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
