Ugh, don't buy from procivic
they don't have the lowest prices
they don't honor their own lowest price gaurantee thing (i've tried it now 4 times and each time they only offer to give me a $5 discount coupon, and even then EVERYONE ELSE still has lower prices)
For brembo blanks (or OE replacement rotors)
go to tirerack.com
lowest price andFAST shipping
procivic is a joke

Slotted are supposed to cool better and crack less, but unless you are cranking some serious power, i wouldn't worry. go with what looks better

yeah, on the streets, I doubt your brakes will get hot enough that drilling or slotting will even make a difference... so I'd go with what you think looks cooler (personally, I like drilled and slotted rotors)

Also, I believe drilled rotors have a higher risk of cracking.

reaper, i'm pretty sure someone did a brake swap on your car...my 96 ex didn't come with rear discs either.

I don't believe disk brakes were standard equipment on ex's, but I'm 99.99% sure they were optional. I was second guessing myself so I checked out Manchester Motorsports (Manchester Honda's parts page)... there's a parts diagram and part numbers for the rear disk brakes for the 2dr ex w/abs models, so I'm going to say they definitely made ex's with them.

I just doubt anything as serious as a brake swap was done on a car that, prior to my ownership, had two things done to it: a JVC head unit and Sony Xplod rear speakers.

(not trying to come off as a jacka**, just trying to prove my point)

Understand what your saying, but I wonder why they wouldn't put them on later EX's then...
