New Rotors for my 2003 :o
New Rotors for my 2003 :o
Alrighty, my stock rotors warped, not covered under warranty
so I'm going to buy a pair of rotors for my 2003 EX w/ ABS (if that matters) Problem is, I'm dumb and don't know what I'm doing
I'm not really looking for flash in the rotors, I just want a set that isn't going to warp as easily as the stock ones did.
Any ideas?

brembro cross drilled rotors are good unless you like spending the cash i went with bigger rotors and custom fit the 00 CIvic SI calipers for more coverage. but it wasnt cheape. if your looking just to get better rotors brembros are very nice. Not too pricey either

I had to get something replaced in my brakes, I think it was the front rotors. I was "hot rodding" my civic too much, and I would get a grinding noise when I used the brakes (like as if the brake pads were totally worn out). Turns out because of how I drove, I melted something in the brakes, and left a solid cover over the brake pad and that wrecked the rotor and stuff. Warranty covered it

Go for the Brembo SLOTTED rotors. They're about $160, and make sure you get real ones, not 3rd party machined blanks.

if all you are looking for is a better rotor, you don't need Drilled or slotted rotors, just get a set of brembo blanks. They will do fine for your needs.
