Pads - Cobalt GT Sport
Why - Because Andie's brakes work very well on the street and track. His helpfulness and customer service are second to none.

Rotors - AutoZone
Why - They work and they're cheap. Warp them, crack them, destroy them ... you're out $20.

Pads - OEM Honda
Why - They have been better than any other aftermarket pad I've seen on the market. They are very predictable for me and work very well.

Rotors - Brembo Blanks
Why - They came very highly recommended from everyone I talked to. Total price was $40 on GBC.

Powerslots slotted rotors, and OEM Honda pads.
Very easy install on the rotors, and a typical honda disk brake job.

Brembo crossdrilled/slotted front rotors, generic dimpled/slotted rears. Stock calipers and pads.

Why? Cuz I made it so.

a lot of brembo fans over here
have you guys ever heard of SNYPER or KVR, which makes better rotors then brembo? Brembos are just OEM style disques which can be cross drilled and slotted. Just like any chinese disque which would perform just as great for a fraction of the cost. And pads just to name a few BENDIX, ABSCO, KVR make great pads that will out perform HONDA OEM and they are cheaper. Dont get me wrong, brembos are great disques, but there is better for cheaper.

Brembo's rotors are cast with the slots and drill holes. Many others are born as blanks, and literally drilled...a big nono for the structural integrity of the rotor.

The truth is for street legal driving a very simple upgrade or two is more than enough.
And yeah we've heard of KVR...
But you gotta admit the Brembo logo is really nice. :yes:
