Default 88 Rotors?

anyone used them before?

reliable?

reason why im asking.. is because my brakes NEED to be changed.. i mean NEED.. reason being.. my rears.. the low pad indicator is grinding in the rotor now =p and yea.. i now know i need a brake job..

so yea..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1992-...mZ190175180513

looked at that..

price seems good..

also the company has a booth at eibach meets.. and is a sponsor of honda-tech.. (dont flame me cuz i said honda...)

also on the front page it has a SC!! =D

I have a pair of front rotors from them on my car right now and they are working fine. Although, one of the pads I got from them was missing the tiny hole where the pad springs would fit into. I just ended up using one of the springs. I would double check this if you are getting pads as well.

I have them on my GS, and haven't had any issues. The only thing I was a little dissapointed with was that the powdercoating didn't last very long. I was showing signs of rust within a matter of weeks. This may be the case with all powdercoated rotors, but this was my first set. I did paint them and clear coat them and they've held up very well.

Why not go with slotted brembos? They are cheaper and you know they are quality too.

cheaper??? got link? im prolly going to get this set of 4 rotor n pads today tho.. since my car NEEDS brakes haha.

so.. $205 (org price + tax) for... 4 D/S rotors ( 2 F + 2 R ) + Brake pads for all 4 corners (semi metallic)

on top of that warentee too.. for cracking.. which is good cuz i heard drilled brakes tend to crack often so.. =p

but yea. link to cheaper slotted brembos wouldnt hurt for other peeps that want new rotors..

Greed777: what type of paint + clear did u use? i heard 88 uses high temp paint on their rotors on Honda-tech forum...but then again i got a response from them saying they power coat it...

I used black brake caliper paint by VHT and Dupli-Colors engine enamel for the clear. It has held up very well. I was told that they were powder coated as well, it just didn't hold up very long.

I recommend it, I have alway used it. Alot of rotors and calipers that I have seen that don't use it tend to wear and fade rather quickly. I have never had to re-paint mine and they still look brand new and freshly painted.

the guy who runs it had a sc300 before he bought his nsx.. good guy.. i bought my set from him.. but they rusted after the first 2 weeks.. you really need to high temp paint them... 500 degrees + should be ok
