If it's an automatic, I'd use top-grade brake parts. Rotor warping is
not uncommon.

If you search places like manhonda.com and others, you'll find
reasonable prices on OEM rotors. I've heard as low as $30-40 per
rotor for older Civics.

When it comes to pads, I like OEM as well ... just don't go with cheap
aftermarket parts. You'll get fade, poor wear rates, gobs of dust,
etc ... Go with a high performance upgrade pad ... but NOT a full
race pad which will perform poorly at cooler temps.
