How many miles do you have? Usually the rear PADS need to be changed, the rear rotors should do you for at least 100K unless you let your pads run down and gouge the rear rotor.

I would just get the stock rotors, i have the EMC rotors and they warped easily and create a lot of break dust.

Brembo blanks are $45 each from tirerack.com. MUCH better than the OEMs...

Do you know how to change rotors? If you don't, then this is your opportunity to take your car to Park Ave They will do a much better job than Open Road Acura, trust me

They DO NOT make rear brembo blanks. You will have to go with the OEM originals. I still find it hard to beleive that your pads reunined your rears at 30K miles. PM Jens about this and see what he says.

Thanks everyone. Ill see what Jens has to say. I dont understand how they ruined the rotors either. Once I heard any noice from the brakes I didnt drive the car and quickly made an appointment for them to check out, but this is what he says.
