Rotors

I've been checking the web for the best rotors at a reasonless price. I'm not saying I'm looking for the lowest price because at some point you get what you pay for but I do want to know what you guys and girls think. I should mention I want the slotted and cross drilled look.

I do have them. Relatively new so I don't have the benefit of time, but I can say that I like them so far. They appear to be a high quality piece.

Our AZ brake packages are the perfect choice. These Acurazine brake packages are designed to improve braking performance and durability at a reasonable price. The packages include Powerslot/STOPTECH performance rotors and STOPTECH Performance pads. All of the rotors have a black e-coating on the hubs and vanes and an advanced alloy composition. The Powerslot slotted rotors for the front of most Acuras also have a Power Alloy composition and a curved vane construction, which helps reduce heat in the brake system. The STOPTECH Performance pads are a para-aramid compound, which has great initial bite and long-term performance and lower dust and noise than most aftermarket brake pads.

Just curious...how does the price of $470 for drilled/slotted/pads compare to having your OEM rotors re-surfaced and buying similar quality pads? Has anyone done the latter and know of the price?

I believe about a year ago they were asking 80 something per rotor to resurface them on my TSX because they were uneven..Had I not traded in for a TL I was going to spend the extra 30-40 per rotor to have a brand new product...

It will probably be less to resurface your rotors since you're not paying for a part, just a service.

Right, I expect that. I was just wondering what the difference in cost would be. When my rotors needed re-surfaced on my old car (and pads replced) I think I only spent like $80-100 more to get drilled/slotted and new pads. This is the route I plan to go on this car too.
