        why mess with something that "looks" like it will fit, rather then getting something you know will fit?

            Personal Feedback: I've been through the aftermarket crap (caps, rotors, spark plugs, brake pads, driveshafts, ignition wires) Sometimes spent less..sometimes WAY more than OEM. My conclusion: For HONDA'S.. ALWAYS buy OEM. Period. i don't know about Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, but my car always runs the best and lasts the longest on genuine, i said genuine.. not oem-style or oem-like parts.

                or go to the local dealer and ask for what you need and purchase it there. people try to hard to overcomplicate things.

                  they sure do. cause its obvious already to go to my local dealer who'd charge me a heavier price than places like johneaglehonda. lets talk about over complicating shit then.

                  looking at the link i previously posted,then checking this site i was given,the rotor looks the same. so AGAIN,i'll ask whats the deal with that shape and the circular ones.

                    hence the reason you were provided with two links to two different sites, at least one of which is, surprise surprise, a dealership.

                    looking at the link i previously posted,then checking this site i was given,the rotor looks the same. so AGAIN,i'll ask whats the deal with that shape and the circular ones.
                    apparently you either did not read nor comprehend:

                    just because something looks the same doesn't mean that it is. a 1990 accord ex with an h22 under the hood "looks" like a 1990 accord ex with an f22 under the hood. but indeed, they're not the same.

                    just in case you're still not understanding, simply:
                    buy the oem part.

                      why didnt you read?

                      the FIRST picture of a ROTOR i posted looks exactly the same as picture #3 from the DEALERSHIP LINK!

                      the question WAS: whats the difference between those and the CIRCULAR rotors. read before you get too thirsty to flame

                        i'm not trying to flame you, and as far as i can tell, no one else in this thread is trying to flame you. we're trying to steer you clear of any problems you'd have from something that looks like it would fit, rather than just simply purchasing something you know will fit. we're tying to tell you not to take chances on this part that's vital to the operation of your car.

                        the difference is, since you have yet to figure it out, that one looks like it will fit and is not oem, and the other is oem.

                        you have mrhonda, a certified honda technician and member of this board, telling you to buy oem.
                        you have myself, a moderator and member of this board, telling you to buy oem.
                        you have xaxis360, a member of this board, telling you to buy oem.

                        and you have punkrampant, a member of this board, telling you it looks like it will fit.

                        so, 3 votes for oem, 1 vote for the part that looks like it will fit. of course, whether or not it will fit is another question.

                        again, the difference is oem vs. looks like oem but who knows what it is.

                        why try and get the part that looks like it will fit, but in fact may not? why not just go and get oem?

                        many people are trying to show you younger members that it's easier, cheaper, and faster to do it right the first time. just buy the oem part, rather than guessing with something that looks like it will fit and is not oem.

                          Okay.. everybody CALM DOWN! The difference between the two are simply design. They both function the same: Transferring electricity by spinning to each point on the cap at a high rate of speed. In my opinion, I would assume that the OEM version performs better because:

                          A: It was designed by the creator of the ignition system

                          B: It is manufactured by TEK of Japan and TEK makes most of the other components in the system

                          C: It would appear that the OEM has an advantage over the one you are looking at based on simple design. Having the support of the entire circle instead just that little stripson seems like a more reliable design. Also, that aftermarket head has a flat, sharp edge. The genuine part has a fat, cerraded edge that actually touches the contact inside the cap. When you're talking ignition, reliability is just as important as performance and it looks like the OEM has it beat.

                          Finally, yes it is better to not pay full dealer mark-up by ordering from a savvy internet Honda dealer that uses a low mark-up.

                            i've ordered the OEM from JEH,but i just wanted to ask a question: whats the difference between that looking rotor and the circular one. on the honda site,the OEM isnt the circular. all the OEM rotors i came across were circular,but the ones from the dealer is the shaped i showed you. it was just a QUESTION. why make it look like im doing anything besides asking one?

                              To answer you question, ALL 90+ Hondas have the circlular style rotor. If its not circular its NOT OEM.
