Some advice? Hey guys,
I've got a little over 50K miles on my 2k1 EX Coupe. I've had to have my rotors resurfaced THREE times already and now the dealership mechanic is telling me they need to be replaced. He quoted me a price of 415 plus tax...
Here's my dilemna. I can get better parts than what Honda will use on Tirerack.com for $200. And I've looked at the Brake DIY on this site. Do you guys think it's really tough to do? It doesn't look particularly hard, but I'm very concerned about attempting it myself. I'm a bit worried about screwing with the brakes.

Rep Power: 0 Brakes are about are not that hard to do. You could probably save close to 150 if you just bought Brembo or ProStop on a Groupbuy at
www.groupbuycenter.com
and have the install done at a brake shop. But doing your self isnt out of the question just loosen a few screws and remember not to tweek the brake lines by letting them hang.
