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. |

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. |
