UPDATE 2/28/2012. As it turns out, the rotor is slightly warped, causing brief and light contact with the brakepad ever 180 degree rotation, causing the noise.
Case closed.
UPDATE: After getting home and removing the wheels I've learned several things; The calipers appear to be stock Nissin 16CL13V's. The rotors are Brembo but the only numbers on the rotors are : 35 01 B PA And I haven't been able to find out if that's apart #.
Also, the brake pads have more...
Thank you! It really isn't obvious from the pics; they look solid. Bust after some more digging around, it appears that you're correct about the stock rotors being ventilated.
I'll still have to check the calipers, because I know my Dad had something with the brakes/suspension upgraded, but...
Ok, to correct my estimate of 1/4", I checked around and discovered that many solid rotors are .325" thick. Many ventilated rotors are 1.355" thick.
By saying that it sounds normal, are you saying that all stock '91 CRX Si rotors are ventilated disks?
Thanks. I knew what you meant. I've never heard of upgrades for wheel bearings either, but I've never had to replace wheel bearings in a Honda before.
Too bad they're not as easy to replace as the bearings in a '71 VW!
Thank you PsychoREX!! Thats the kind of intelligent reply I was hoping for. I din't know that there would be a part# on the caliper itself.
As for the local autoparts store, they don't carry the EBC GreenStuff pads, so I'll likely order online.
Thank you for your advice!
I don't need or have new rotors. And I don't have new pads because I don't know which model to order (see original post). And of course, that still doesn't answer my question about the wheel bearings.
It does not have the stock wheels. They are MB Wheels, but stock size.
The stock rotors appear in the shop maunal to be about 1/4"-1/3" thick. The current rotors appear to be about 1" thick with the area between the inner and outer paltes being semi-hollow, connecting the two plates by some...
I have a '91 CRX Si with aftermarket, drilled rotors with EBC Greenstuff pads. I bought the car from my Dad last year and he doesn't remember what brand of rotors or calipers are on it or where they were purchased from (upgrade was done 8+ years ago), but says they could be Brembo.
