Angry WTC $220 for OEM brake rotors :rant:
My brakes are gving off a vibration when I brake with decent pressure given. I know its not pads because I just changed them. Well I call my local dealer and them fuckers are 108 and some change for each side!

Cant I get something better for the same price? Also could I use my pads that I just bought?


This fuggin sucks!

^ is that worth it on the stock rotors? or would it be better to just take that $ and put it toward aftermarket rotors?

u can get some aftermarket slotted rotors for the same price. i would avoid oem honda/acura rotors because they are notorious for warping early

$108 for each rotor?!?! F-ing ridiculous. Never buy from the dealer unless there is no other alternative.
