Are you all running these fancy pads on regular rotors? Or do you have to upgrade the rotors to play with the big boy pads?

Most of the track guys are running on el cheapo rotors.

Some people run 20 buck rotors and some run 40 buck rotors. I normally run 40 buck rotors but had a chance to try the APM/SOS rotors and don't like them. I get more life out of the 40 dollar rotors.

Ah ok, I'm running the $40 brembo rotors right now. This thread will be helpful with figuring out some new pads to play with.

i have the oem pads... in the front, the brake dust is horrible and corrosive..... its permanently on some sections of the wheel. im hoping to replace the front rotor and pads with brembo blanks and napa ceramic pads.

Brake dust is pretty bad with AP2 pads but I've never had any issues washing it off. AP1 pads hardly dust and still bite really well.
Are you absolutely sure your pads a factory Honda OEM pads? Did you purchase them from Honda and install them yourself?
I've had issues with other pads but never OEM not saying its not possible but I would be surprised.
