generic rotors use poor quality material and poor heat excavation designs - IMO the way to go is power slot cryo rotors and pretty much any decent pad like the auto zone ceramic golds ect.

so you suggest going w/slightly pricier rotors like powerslots but then cheap out on pads...I would not go away from Hawk man they are awesome...not that autozone isn't awesome but as far as putting performance parts on my sports car I try to stay away from autozone

The cheap autozone ones tend not to last as long, especially if tracking. the Centric premium, or Centric slotted ( aka power slot brand) will be the best bang for buck for a street car seeing some street and fun track days.

I'm using Centric rotors and EBC Yellowstuff pads. I drive it every day and have attended 3 HPDE on the current setup. Have done great, they stop cold and even better hot. ^GTmotoring for the rotors and autopartswarehouse.com for the pads. (I used the high end autozone pads and they wore almost completely after 1 week of driving and a HPDE)

EDIT: the Yellowstuff are VERY dusty.

would centric rotors be an upgrade from the stock CR brakes?
and would you really notice a difference in DD performance with just a rotor upgrade?

I run EBC USR 7088 & 7089 slots on my 03.Hawk HPS & Goodridge lines.

Stops on a dime and gives 9 cents change!

Looks like you are in socal. Try e auto parts in san gabriel. Its like $25 per rotor.
Are these E Auto brake rotors for $25 good and reliable? I spoke to Edward there and he seemed pretty knowledgeable, but I just dont want the rotors to fail on me.

I just bought a set of HONDA OEM pads too. Should I just pick up some OEM rotors instead of the E Auto Rotors?
