hello

<-- new.. kinna.. but ya.. heh heh heh...

anyways, i'm due for new rotors on my 4th gen in a bit.. and i wanted to find some better performance roters/calipers if i'm gonna change it anyway.. which rotors/calipers would be easily bolted on, and of high performance?

thanx

You don't really need new calipers.. but as for rotors, you can go with powerslot (slotted and dimpled rotors) more for looks or just go with brembo blanks if you want to save money (and don't really race or auto-x)

Yep, Powerslot Slotted Rotors are very nice. I love mine

what are good rotors for use in the occasional drag strip and street racing AND daily driving?

Id go with the brembo powerslot rotors for BRAKES.

I thought a drag strip was a straight line? Usually street racing is a straight line....I would just get blanks.

I got some new VTEC brembo blanks off ebay for $40

unless you are gonna be auto-xing or road racing i would go with non-slotted/non-drilled, unless you care about how it "looks"

the rotor not goign to help you stop much faster.. it's really the pad that does the work... you might be able to just cut your stock rotor if it's not at the min. yet and that should run you something like $15-25 per rotor... if your pads need replacing and you want performance.. go with the axxis ultimates ... before you do anything though.. go to www.cobaltfriction.com all the road racers / auto-xers and daily street cars go there for brake parts...call them up and ask for advice.. the guys there are really helpful and won't steer you in the wrong direction

p.s. visit the auto-x / road race forum on po.com... you learn a lot about brakes and stuff in there

I'm using blanks with Mintex 1144 pads, they work fine for daily driving and those times when you want to give the car a 'workout'

I've also got NSX calipers on there, so they help a bit more.

I have EBC red stuff pads and EBC rotors they do a grate job of stoping you when you need them
