Hi everyone, I have a 2014 Accord v6 with 85K. No vibration in the steering wheel when stopping. I am getting close to needing to change my front brakes.
As far as I know, they are the original OEM rotors. My question is, would you go ahead and replace the rotors along with the brakes, or replace the brakes and see how the car drives?
The front rotors are quite expensive, I do not want to change them if it is not necessary, but I want to do the right thing.

Thanks

 

I'm not sure what part of the world you are in but, replacement rotors shouldn't be "quite expensive" IMHO. What price are you seeing?

 

At advanced auto and O'Reileys they are around 100 dollars each. I do not want them to rust, so I stay away from the steel ones.

 

I live in East Texas so, high humidity overall. On a daily driver, rust should not be a problem generally because the pads scrub them clean every time you drive. The ends will get a bit rusty over time but, that doesn't really affect performance.

What stainless discs are you looking at?

 

If there is no rust,pulsation or noise, Id pad slap em and call it a day.

 

Hi,
Isn't there a rotor thickness spec?

If they are that expensive and you have the meat left...

Might want to just turn them and use them?

 

Turnng them locally is half the cost of a new rotor where I live. Unless they are really thick, not worth it to me.

 

Hi,
Last time I had rotors turned it was $15 ea.???

 

$40 to $50 where I live.

New rotors are <$100 online. I did 4 Stop-Techs with pads on mom's Accord for $250 a while back which was a very good deal. These were real Stop-Techs, not some grey market or suspect vendor fakes purchases either as they came from Stop-Tech direct.
