I have hawk hp plus pads with powerslot rotors and stainless steel lines on the front of my ef hatch. Made a hell of a difference in my braking over stock.

axis.


why would you go with crossdrilled? their pointless. unless you get bigger break s, then you are reducing the surface area for the pads and that ='s not good.

cross drilled rotors and slotted rotors just chew up your pads faster. unless it is a race car, they aren't nescassary. i also use hawk hp plus pads with my prelude rotors with my accord wagon calipers. those are 16's in the pic. i can't get anything smaller than a 15 over them, and even then they have to be balanced on the ouside of the rim.

yup!

its less contact area on your pads and its kinda like a cheese grader effect on your ----!

i wouldnt use those cross drilled ones you have if i were you. just get some brembo brakes ( non cross drilled or slotted )

The three types that I've heard the best "reviews" off are porterfield, hawk and axxis.
