Brake discs EBC or OEM Honda

Since enrolling in the daily death-race a year ago, I've: Replaced the Serp. Belt and idler, adjusted the valves, changed CVT oil and its filter a couple times, swapped O2 and Mass airflow sensors, replaced front brake rotors and pads, upgraded headlamps and added an Acura switched light for the rear so I can turn it off and leave the hatch open. I've got the set of drums and pads for the back waiting for a good day - that should fix whatever caused the parking brake to seize until I stopped setting it last winter.

EBC discs and pads have been fine on all my bikes and they're a British company - replace the pads at the same time as the new discs.

I have these rotors with EBC yellowstuff pads. So far so good.

én végül EBC-t vettem, általában kapja az ívet, amikor kanyargósabb utakra tévedek, eddig mindent kibírt, pedig nem kímélem.Úgy jött ki, hogy Grossglockneren lett befejezve a fék bejáratása, füstöltek már a fékek a nyúzástól és nem ott lett a vége a mókának, hanem még jöttek mindenféle olasz hegyek, ahol tovább lett tesztelve a rendszer határa, de a tárcsákat ez nem nagyon hatotta meg. Tavaly május végén került fel, azóta belement tizenpárezer km, abból 2700 km hegyi túra, és kb. minden hónapban van pár alkalom, amikor a féknek dolgoznia kell elég intenzíven, semmi baja azóta se.

I changed my rotors and pads a year ago and got ebc sport rotors and hawk hps 5.0 pads. I absolutely do not recommend ebc rotors as mine have already warped and make a grinding noise. The hawk pads are good, but the brake feel is linear so if you prefer a firmer pedal feel I think ebc red or yellow is a better bet.

So my rotors seem to be warped on my 2020 Civic Si, at least I think so. They feel alright with very light braking, but any amount of hard braking immediately causes wobbling. Pads are definitely low, only about 2-3 mm left, so I figured I should just replace the rotors anyway. I just ordered EBC's Stage 5 kit that comes with slotted and dimpled rotors and yellowstuff pads front and rear for $500 due to good reviews on the Civicx forum. However, I'm reading a lot of people say that slotted/dimpled simply is not worth the extra cost for a street car. I drive pretty hard in the mountains and have felt a pretty substantial amount of brake fade at times so I figured I could definitely benefit from some better heat dissipation, but now I'm starting to regret my decision. Am I wasting my money?

OEM rotors were badly warped within the first year and Honda refused to warranty because they were “still in spec”. Of all OEM Honda parts, I think their brake rotors are one of the worst quality I have experienced.

Why are Honda original equipment rotors such garbage?
