Brake discs DBA or OEM Honda
You normally would never need to resurface the rear rotors on this car, we only resurface the front unless there's something really abnormal.
Pros: only resurface front
Cons: something really abnormal
During my last service, I mentioned there was possible rocks or something rubbing in between the pads + rotors on one of the corners. They diagnosed and machining the rotors fixed it.
Pros: machining fixed rubbing
Cons: rocks rubbing
Mileage: 65000 km
Buy DBA rotors and Bendix GCT pads from any SuperAutoCo- they have a great service life, make minimal dust and won’t warp on you.
Pros: great service life, minimal dust
Cons: may warp
If you replace. DBA rotors are probably as good as youre going to get locally.

Pros: using DBA
Front rotors people usually get dba or ebc

Was literally checking out these rotors for our FJ Cruiser, a lot of other FJ owners use the T2 and T3 rotors but I really wanted to avoid a slotted rotor due to dust and wear concerns. Have a set of DVA XP pads in the meantime.
Pros: avoid slotted rotor
Cons: dust and wear concerns

Toyota FJ Cruiser
Never had any issues except warped rotors on one

as of now it's still got the OEM ones on the rear (and I failed to notice that they'd begun to warp due to already having swapped the front brakes back in August).
Cons: rotors warped
