get it at the dealer , put factory parts in, it might coast you 20 dollars more but it will last for the next 10 years at least..

alright heres the rotor from the site posted above:



people are telling me just go straight to OEM,but on the site it does say OEM replacent. the question was why does this one look different from those circular ones? people kept saying to just get it from HONDA specifically. well straight from honda,picture # 3,the rotor looks exactly the same.

http://www.hondaautomotivepart...EC%29

so again,the question is whats the difference from the pictured rotor,and the circular ones i find on the link below?

That rotor in the picture above doesn't look like a denso or ngk (Honda) rotor. The round one looks like the rotors I know. OEM all the way. OEM "replacement", is not OEM.

It looks very familiar. Even has the little bumps on the edge like I remember.
