Default what are some ok rotors and brake pads for 4th gen?

my brake pads are almost out, and the rotor is uneven so when i brake from high speed, my steering wheel shakes a lot. What are some ok rotors and brake pads that i can buy. I am a daily driver and im on a budget so just decent daily driving rotors and brake pads are what im looking for thx!

It's generally cheaper to resurface the rotor, so if they can be resurfaced, i would do that. Once they get to a certain thickness (or lack of thickness) they need to be replaced, so take the rotors to a parts store that resurfaces and have them look at the rotors.

Oem pads should be available online, try majestic honda as they tend to have the lowest prices on replacement parts.

if you're going to buy new rotors, you'll want 4th gen specific rotors.

for a warped rotor, i would just go ahead and buy new rotors. people have quoted me 30 or so dollars to resurface rotors, which i thought was completely overpriced. you can find autozone blanks for cheap, but they didnt have them for my car. they didnt even carry the part, so i just ordered brembo blanks. had to pay more, but my rotors were warped.
