the brakes

OK so I have a 1990 and I have a slight wobble at speed when I hit the brakes. In other words I need new rotors. What is the cost difference between stock rotors and an upgrade to something more powerful. Is it worth it?

The higher quality/more expensive blanks will resist warpage a little better. But they'll also have a lifetime replacement warranty. You get what you pay for, as with everything else.

Upgrading pads will see more benefits than upgrading to drilled and slotted rotors fyi

If you go with a higher quality brake rotor then you will probably see a little more life about them. But hell, you could buy auto-zone brake rotors and still get a lifetime warranty out of them.

Well right now my budget sucks but my car still needs new rotors. I just feel like this car should stop better than it does being that I'm familiar with Integras. I'm willing to pay a little more for better rotors and pads but I'm not trying to turn this into a race car at the moment. So I'd like to upgrade the rotors if the cost to benefit ratio is close enough. Otherwise I'll have to put regular ones on and just use better pads.

I'd do regular oem rotors w/ hawk pads.

Rotors and pads can only do so much for you. Upgrading size and caliper power will do more then buying higher quality rotors.

I've heard many good things about hawk pads. When you swap the rotors you always want to swap the pads so you don't put cuts in you brand new rotors that the old pads formed. On the rotor side you don't want to go too extreme, you won't need drilled/slotted for just casual driving. Oem w/ hawk pads sounds like the way to go; stated simply by hgocasa :)
