What are your opinions on these.

I think its time for new disks for the ol civic and these might be a worthwile alternative to the OEM disks.

i have the slotted and drilled ones and unfortunatley they have cracked around the holes..so go for the slotted only pads..

and don't use race pads either...i was using some EBC greens and they warped the discs in no time!..now i have some bendix advanced and they are fine..

I know a few Honda guys that use EBC with no problems...

mine were fine too untill i raced at wakefield

yeh some people have warping problems with EBC green. I've been told that Bendix Ultimates are an excellent pad, and was also investigating Cobalt GT-Sport pads from the US.

The DBA slotted rotors are pretty good, and quite cheap for what they are IMO

And these are guys that used them on the track... :P

Each to his own, that's why there are different brands out there.

I'm not sure about the slotted rotors, but the slotted and drilled rotors are not to be used on the track according to DBA.

I would stay away from DBA if you plan to do circuit work every now and then. Too many horror stories with cracking and warped discs.

Brembo do produce disc's for the honda's, the only problem is finding a place that can get them. [insert importer/distributor here]

Or else you can go for some serious stopping :wink:
