New Brakes

Well my old stock ones are worn out and have to replace them. I was thinking i might as well get better looking brakes, maybe cross drilled or vented.

Problem is I live in Windsor now and there aern't that many performance shops. Anybody kno some online dealers that deliver to Windsor. Any recommendations for a good part... I dont' need it to perform well i rather have it last long and look good.

Plus does anyone kno the specific size i have to look for or anything. It's for a 1997 Acura EL Sport.

Thanks

go with slotted ones , dont waste your money on cross drilled like i did. for the daily driver stock ones from honda r fine but u'll pay about the same for aftermarket ones but cross drilled, unless they're nice expensive ones they will jus warp faster...not good since u want ur brakes to last. im having to spend money all over again on brakes cuz i went with cheap **** dat was so called 'brembo'.

I'm going to try these two combos withing the next two brakes jobs, lol.

Cheap route - Cheapest priced OE spec rotors, shoes, pads, and valvoline dot3 and 4 brake fluid

Not so cheap route - brembo blanks, oem shoes, hawk hps pads, and valvoline brake fluid.

I think I'm going to do the cheap route first since my cash is strapped.
