I'm about ready to install new front and rear pads on my wifes 2005 Accord for the first time since we bought it new and I was wondering if I should have the rotors cut?, first off theres still some miles left on the pads and there still stopping good and straight but I want to change them before they hit the wear indicator, which their getting close to.

 

I had the rotors cut on my 2003 Accord and a few months later they are warped pretty badly. The Honda Dealership I worked never cut rotors other than to remove a small amount of warpage. They mainly just replace the pads or new pads and rotors. I had no choice on mine as the rotors were rusted bad from sitting for a long period of time.

 

if no shaking when braking and rotors are not grooved or badly rusted , i would just replace the pads
