so i finally had to order new pads + rotors for my car

i ordered from nopionline brembo rotors + nissin pads (pretty much OEM setup) and OMG, it stops so much better :bightumb: before i had just nissin+brembo on the front and then autozone on the back, now i have nissin + brembo all the way around and it is much better! the brakes grab!!!

just had to share

should have gotten hps's from billy

hawks > nissin

unless you don't want the dusting

jsmooney · 10-16-2006, 11:30 AM

sorry - i didnt know. the nissins were like $28 for the rear pads and that was fine with me. maybe ill get hawks for the front when i do the vtec or 5 lug conversion in the future

^yeah def. do that.

vtec conversion is easy as cutting cheese

jsmooney · 10-16-2006, 04:42 PM

well, i want to do the vtec conversion but i am going to wait til this summer and try to do the 5 lug conversion. if i do the brakes now and the 5 lug, i just wasted money on rotors

Like "jsmooney" I also have the Brembo rotors mounted on my Prelude in the stock wheel size since I run a set of stock size wheels with snows in the winter. My Brembos are cross-drilled, but I am still running factory pads, and still the difference is huge! The Brembo rotors are a great bargain for the difference in braking.
