what is the parts called that the pads snap into in the rear??? it kinda surrounds the actual caliper and attaches with the two 14 mm bolts???

 

carrier

 

Carrier/bracket, whatever.

 

anyone have a clue on where i could get one of those separate from the caliper???

 

also i just got some brembo blanks in the back. would it be better for me to go slotted or drilled for the front??? whats the diff between the two in performance?

 

you can probebly get one seperate from the caliper at either Acura or Autozone/Advance Auto. This is Sunnyside Acura, you can look for the part here.

As for the rotors, slotted/drilled aren't really better if you're talking street use. They basically cool better and help transfer gases to the atmosphere easier than blanks. For street use you'll barely notice a difference.

 

Check junk yards for the carrier also.

 

Silly question, but what's wrong with the one on the car??? It's not exactly a wear item....

Slotted are a little easier on the pads... I use slotted and dimpled F & R .... for what that's worth.

 

How the $#@% do I delete a post

 

Slotted rotors actually cut a new layer into the pads when they're applied heavily, how are they easy on them?
