I need to resurface my rotors too. and honda is such a rip off. how much is the brembo rotor? I might as well get that if it's cheaper than resurfacing the stock rotors.

I think Sierra Honda is a heck of a lot cheaper than that, otherwise i used to take mine to Pep Boys, but they suck, so I do it myself, Or if I am too lazy, I take it to Discount Tire Center, on Arrow and Azusa Ave.

just get some brembo rotors, 100 bucks max, and some aem brake pads, 50 bucks max, then go buy a few tools or go a shop, 50-60 bucks... total 220 max or so... but you got some good pads and brakes

I just got my rotors resurfaced and pads changed at Midas. ~$150 and that comes with lifetime pads - they wear out, Midas replaces them for free. Make sure to go on their website and print out some coupons too... they're running 25% off pads right now.
