Default Help deciding which rotors to get for my gsr

Well its that time to get new rotors for my car. I am looking to get some new ones. I really dont know which route I should go. I would like to step it up to some drilled Brembos but I am not looking to spend 300 on just rotors when I can get stock OEM replacements for 100$ all the way around and I really dont know if it is worth it or not? I would like some of your $.02.

i mean unless you are planning on stopping on a dime, and having the most "beast" brakes out there, whats the point?


i mean, if you want to buy all new calipers, lines, fluid, master clyinder, pads, rotors then yeah i would say spend 300$ on rotors. But if you just have a motor swap, and need to replace your brakes, then go with some decent upgrades. My .02

IE: i have brembo blanks on my civic with PBR ceramic pads. and I plan on replacing my lines with stainless lines, i also plan on replacing my master cylinder, and my fluid.


i wouldnt spend 300$ on a set of rotors, and still have the stock everything else.


not worth it.

The fluid has a higher boiling point.. I'm sure that could make a difference.. and he lines def. improve pedal feel.

You could have your current ones turned for that matter.
