My 02 EX coupe has roughly 45k miles on it, but the brakes have already been resurfaced once, now they are vibrating again when braking (at low speeds, like when coming to a stop, I can hear grinding from the front brakes). I also have to push the brake pedal in passed the half way point before the brakes even start to stop the car, so I'm sure I need new pads. I'm just wondering if I should have the brakes resurfaced again, or just get new disc's along with pads?

As for the alignment, my car drifts to the right at highway speeds, and its now at the point that I have to have the steering wheel turn slightly to the left to keep the car straight.

I just want to make sure I need this stuff done, so I'm not wasting my time and money doing needless things to my car.

The brake job I will do at work with some of my friends (car audio shop, we do oil changes and stuff on our own cars there all the time). But the alignment will need to be done at a tire place, how much should this cost me on average?

Sounds like you need brakes AND an alignment.
front discs and pads should be about 80-140 the alignment should be 50-100.

Sounds good. Now, its either obvious that I brake too hard because I already had my brakes resurfaced once, or the OEM brake rotors and pads suck, either case, would it be better for me to go for some aftermarket company for brake pads and rotors?

I hear bremo blanks all the time for rotors, and various names of pads.
