Default Rotors

Do Ebay rotors work ok with our Honda S2000s? If not which ones can I buy to use with new OEM Honda Brake Pads...Also, do perforamnce pads actually make a huge difference...

if you do get rotors go for the slotted as I heard drilled is more prone to cracking, also ebay rotors probably work, just search for s2000 rotors and a bunch will pop up....

Slotted rotors tear up your pads. Drilled rotors are fine as long as they are casted with the holes rather than drilled after the fact. Also, the reason they crack is due to tremendous heat and pressure caused from track driving. They would be fine on the street, but then again, if all you do is street driving and a little track, then oem's is the way to go.

The jury is still out on OEM but that would be my choice. OEM rotors with OEM pads.

OEMs work great with early (less dust) factory pads.

Avoid the drilled:
