Greetings,
I'm going to be doing a brake job on the GF's 02 Civic next weekend, and I went to an awesome little import auto parts store that we have locally.
I got the Akebono Pro Act pads and the hardware clips for a fairly good price. (based on suggestions here on BITOG)
As far as rotors go, (I prefer to get them locally) this store has Brembo rotors that are made in Italy for about $52 each.
I can also go to Oreilly and get their Brake Best Select rotors for $35 each which I assume are China, or they have Bosch Quietcast for $43 each (I have no clue where they are made or the quality of them)
Anyone have any advice? I don't have to much knowledge of imports and what brands are ok. Price isn't the biggest deal breaker, but I'm ok with having to eat top ramen for a week if I have to spend a couple extra bucks.
Other options can be Napa, Car Quest, AZ.
I just don't want any rotor warpage. Her current ones are smooth and they may be original.
The car is a just a daily driver, but she can be a bit hard on the brakes at times. I would say the driving she does is a bit harder than most due to the city conditions.
TIA.
