ROTORS
hey everyone, im pretty sure i have warped rotors.. there is significant shudder during braking and its way more than i'm comfortable with having, so I have to take my car in soon. If it is just my front rotors which I think it is, I'm planning on getting them "spun". What are the chances that they wont be able to "spin" them, and if i need new rotors, do I get raped by the dealer's pricing or should I go the aftermarket direction? I have no clue what any of this means for my brake pads/calipers either. I dont know much about brakes, could someone help me out? thanks!

RE: ROTORS
getting them spun is going to depend on the runout (amount of warpage) of the rotors and the actual thickness of the rotors.
I would personally go aftermarket if they can't be turned. Stick with a good brand like brembo though.

RE: ROTORS
Well they definitely need to be replaced, all 4 rotors and pads. i could wait a few months on the fronts but I'm gonna do them all at once. So check out this deal:
4 cross drilled and slotted Brembo rotors = $180
Honda Brake pads (i dont want squeaks)= $130
Meineke Labor to put in MY parts= ~$160
.....the shop I took it to wanted $720 for stock rotors and non-honda pads!!! HAAA! yeah right. I could probably install them myself, too, but I just dont have the time before I go back to college next week. I think I'm getting a real good deal. Let me know what you think!

RE: ROTORS
sounds like a decent deal to me. The pads seem a little pricey (i've never priced OEM honda ones) but the rotors are a good deal. Labor seems about right too.
If you have time, I'd look around online for OEM honda pads to see if there's a better price. But that could just be what they cost.
