Brembo brakes installed :)
Thanks to all the peeps that provided feedback with all my brake questions the last few months. The Powerslots I had were great for a few months and then they warped to hell.
 After feedback from dudes like habib, 90CivicRider and others, I decided to stop wasting money on high $$ brakes  and bought plain ol' Brembos from Nopi for $17 a piece. I just put them on yesterday. They are nice cuz my steering wheel doesn't feel like it is shaking off the column anymore, and it doesn't feel like the whole front end is gonna separate from the rest of the car when I hit the brake pedal.  Now if these warp I won't be quite so pissed cuz they are so cheap. So...anyway, sorry about the rambling..I just wanted to say thanks to my 4th gen friends! Late! :sun:

I love em also! I got them on all my wheels and they have yet to warp. Just make sure not to do any heavy braking for 300 miles.

Yeah dude...thanks. I have been babying them since I put them on. As you well know since you are in Baltimore, it has been raining like hell since last night, conveniently it started here about 1 hour after I completed the job, so I have been driving a little more cautiously than usual, which has been giving them a nice chance to break in and season

Yeah I know, I was trying to drift in the rain but the roads here are either too crowded or the roads to crappy.

Glad to hear you may have found a solution to your braking problems.
 And it has been raining awfully hard up here in philly today.

Yeah...we'll see how long these last..at least they are cheap. The rotors are as cheap as the pads were

Congrats man!.
I was going through the same thing as you, then i bought the Brembo crossdrilled rotors & Brembo Pads. They are hella nice. I've had them on for about 6 months now and they still feel as good as the first day i had them. BREMBO = AWESOME SHIT :flash: |
