I've done some searching here and on the net and I can't seem to find any straight answers. What are everyone's opinions on aftermarket rotor manufacturers? I've looked at powerslot, ate, dba, brembo, as well as a few others. I may just go with a simple V6 caliper and a prelude rotor swap up front. I'm about to do the rear swap, and might as well as start fresh all the way around!!!

Thanks for any info!!!

I love my powerslut rotors. what ever brand of pads you get I suggest getting ceramic and stay away from anything with the word metalic in them. Also I have a set of v6 calipers if interested.

if your getting a regular OEM style vented rotor it really doesn't matter what you get. Its a big chunck of iron made in China and its stamped by different manufactures. if your going OEM style you can cheap out and get the Checker special. slotted and drilled are a different story.

I went with Brembo blanks...no problems, then I changed to Brembo drilled and slotted only to find out that they were a big piece of crap...so I changed to rotoras slotted...big difference, if you gonna upgrade your brakes I suggest get ss brakes lines...new brake fluid, decent pads and rotors and u'll be good

Brembo is okay but I brake on Stop Tech Slotted and Drilled rotors. They're made by Centric I believe and is one of the largest brake manufacturers around, like Akebono but not as big. Good stuff, stops on a dime and I have ACT Akebono Ceramic pads. Good luck!

The cheapest rotors you can get with a lifetime warranty, for pads I like the OEM Honda's. They've taken some real serious abuse without fading. I have EBC's on my other car. I had trouble warping the rotors that came on the accord (I had to turn them like once a month), but I don't know what they were.

Drilled and slotted are a waste of money unless you're looking for style points.
