Braking my Honda City - HondaClub.com

∂ιℓιη© · 07-03-2009, 01:54 AM

I have a Honda City 1.5, a 2002 model. Recently the brake dust from the front discs have started to really bother me. In fact there's so much of it that they completely coat the white alloys in 3 days(not exaggerating). I'm thinking of changing the currently OEM brakes to ceramic pads along with a compatible rotor. Could you guys help me out with good brands and any specs that i should look out for ?

Thanks in advance !

morse and wagner both make good ceramic pads that are specific friction. Your stock rotors will work fine with those.

but this is the current state of the rotor, should i change it ?

There's plenty of meat left on those. If you're really worried, you can have them turned down on a lathe.
