Accord 2000: Choosing Front Rotors and Pads
Hi!
I think I need to replace (again) the front rotors and brake pads on Honda Accord 2000 LX 4dr 5spd. Looking for advice for quality budget parts.
I replaced the pads perhaps 4 or so years ago, decided to try ceramic pads back then, and the advice I got was to also put in new rotors, which should be "special" for ceramic pads. So I bought some slightly fancier rotors, which came with 2-year warranty.
Well, now the front brakes are very noisy and wobbly. When I took one apart, the pads were not yet spent but the disk was very uneven, with deep grooves in it. This is not at all what I am used to see: usually the disk looks polished.
Anyway, I figured I better replace the rotors and the pads. I never know how to pick them: many options, and it is not clear if there is a difference. I am thinking again to get ceramic pads and appropriate rotors.
