Sorry, I don't have a good answer. When I asked at the parts store they said they don't have them and I don't need them. There is a thread on here somewhere debating whether they are necessary.

I have a difficult time imagining how they could really be necessary beyond being helpful while servicing the brakes.

When I replaced my front rotors I reused the ones that were there and used anti-seize to make it easier for the next guy.

If it make you feel better. You're fine without them.
But if you want to buy some a local Honda/Acura parts dept. stocks them

xx333,,u dont need em..better without em..so if you ever do rotors again you dont have to fight with em..i always leave them out

Mine are gone.... and forgotten until this thread...

the front you dont need the screws at all
The rears make it easier to adjust the park brake by holding the rotor tight with the wheel removed

The wheel is what holds everything together anyway- be sure the bolts are tightened properly and to spec 80 foot pounds and no more

^ agrees with everyone else... you don't need them, I bet they are only there for assembly when they are making the car...

thats correct- they hold the rotors on tight while the car moves thru the factory without wheels

when i changed my rotors, they were already gone.. im assuming the previous owner had them changed.. i do however put 2 random 10mm screws from my toolbox in the holes and tighten them to hold the rotor in place.. when everything is assembled, i pump the brake to get pressure from the calipers to help hold the rotors in place.. then i remove the screws and put on the wheel.. i know its not necessary, but its just something i do..

Agreed - leave them out, I did and have had no problems

300k without them. They arent needed

i think its better to use the wheel lugs to get everything on there straight and tight.
The calipers dont pull equal on the rotors and could get out of place
