2003 Honda Accord Break Rotors
I'm looking to replace the front rotors on my '03 Honda Accord. I'm
looking for any advice on a good after market brand of rotors to use. Thanks, Lawton |

When I had the alignment done a few months ago, the break pads looked good. |

And something is seriously wrong with your newsreader. It's breaking (note spelling) the lines of text. I had to fix them before replying. There is quite a lot more to BRAKE vibration than you think: http://www.babcox.com/editorial/bf/bf100326.htm OEM is best. Period. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Remove the lugs and re-install them using a torque wrench, following the specs for your model. This has been addressed here before, and is a good reason to not go to the crappy local tire-shack... |

Is there a reason why you are replacing them? Are you doing it for
looks or are your rotors warped? If you are going to buy aftermarket, you may want to check tirerack as they have the base Brembo rotors for $46.00 each. I haven't had any experience with using them but Acura does use the more expensive Brembos on their line of cars. Also I think the OEM run about $70 for each side. Make sure to get new screws that hold the rotor in place (apply antiseize to the screws) and have an impact driver to remove the old rusted screws.
