honda quality parts advice

so then whats "pot metal"? i know its cheap, and its cast.

Rotors can be had cheap. What you need to watch out for is that on some Honda/Acura cars they installed the rotor behind the hub. This means that a what should be a simple 1/2 hour rotor swap turns into a 1.5 hour rotor swap. That assumes you can undo the axle bolt easiley. If your car has this stupid design, I would stick with the softer pads that don't eat through the rotors as quickly.

I've used Brembo rotors on many vehciles with excellent results. In fact, I replace the factor warp-masters on my '03 Accord with Brembos and have been enjoying excellent braking ever since.

Of those I have only tried PBRs and they were fine. Generally I install top of the line Raybestos or Wagner pads when I do brake jobs on my cars. Every company makes several grades of pads these days. Get one of the top end pads from any major maker and you are probably ok.

I would use the Honda, NTK or Densos myself. For some reason my luck with Bosch parts has been very hit-and-miss. Never tried Walker.

I guess no one has answered the basic question yet?? In my experience using Brembo rotors on my Honda, two SAABs, my son's Mitsubishi, and our Volvo, I would say "yes", Brembo makes good rotors. The finish is excellent and I've not had any problems with any of the cars that I've installed Brembo rotors.

I usually buy all of my Brembo parts from one of the various internet sources, such as
