Aftermarket rotors for 2000 Honda Accord

    Does anyone have experience with aftermarket disc rotors? I drive faster
    than I should and the stock rotors eventually warp. Do cross drilled rotors
    reduce warpage without compromising the structural integrity of the rotor?
    What about curved rotor vaneing as opposed to the factory straight rotor
    vanes?



    Thanks in advance for all the input.

    Brembo is now an OEM supplier to Honda. You might try their products.

    it's not heat that warps your rotors bud, it's rust and bad torque
    procedure. put a little antiseize on the rotor cap after you've scraped
    off the rust, both inside and outside. use a scraper blade, not emery
    paper. torque in 2 or more stages, 1324, 1324.
    not really. go to the circuit. there's the old farts [you know, the
    ones with experience] winning races on standard undrilled straight vane
    disks. in theory, curved vanes are better, but half the time, i see
    monkeys with them installed the wrong way around, so i really doubt
    you'll see any difference.

    One can install rotors outside-in?

    no, if the vanes are curved, they have a left and right side - they
    frequently get switched.

    Right now our Accord has Brembo replacements up front which are about
    30k miles used and still doing great. I recently replaced the rear
    rotors with Raybestos brand PG Plus, their premium standard design
    rotor. So far these are working brilliantly as well. I'm using
    Raybestos Quiet Stop ceramic formula pads all around and the car stops
    butter smooth and whisper quiet. Ah, lovely. These pads also don't
    make as much black dust as the original Honda ones did.

    I don't know about abusive driving and cross drilled rotors. I don't do
    the first and have never tried the second.
