i have a us spec 08 civic 4 door lx that i want to get new brakes and rotors on. what do they have in terms and slotted and drilled rotors and ceramic brakes. Also where are you buying them. i am in the army and have the car in Germany. there is lots of stop and go traffic just want to be a little more prepared. Thanks guys!

 

IMO drilled and slotted rotors won't help in stop and go, or daily driving situations. I would recommend ceramic brakes, the car most likely came with ceramics from the factory. Getting "blank" rotors and a good pad should be all you need unless you are really pushing the car to its max.

I order brakes from rockauto.com usually. From my experience, Power Stop is a good brand. Rockauto.com has complete rotor and pad kits for cheap. For my 2003 Maxima, I only paid $145 shipped for front and rear rotors & pads. Zero problems. RA.com offers a bunch of 5% off coupons, which might help you. Not sure if they ship internationally though.

 

drilled rotors are prone to cracking and slotted rotors will actually give you less stopping power on a street car because you are taking away surface area for the pads to bite onto,even more so with slotted and drilled. get blank rotors and if you want better performance HAWK HPS street pads.
