Brake discs EBC 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.
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.
Just get slotted, drilled are prone to hot spots and cracks.
Try EBC instead. Also very good.
You are being taken for a ride. 7 mm is the run out for Honda/Acura. I own a 2001 accord, and a 2004 crv, and have never had to replace the rotors, or calipers.
I have EBC rotors and Redstuff pads right now and am quite happy, but I had R1 and Powerstop previously.
I’m happy with the EBC rotors and red pads but I can’t get them to stop squeaking.
I had this when I fitted ebc discs on my Cupra. It's went on for a few hundred miles but then went away. I think it's something to do with the grooves. My thinking was they maybe had a little lip or something that eventually smoothed off.
Just run em’ after you grind it off. For a daily I would never run drilled. Noisy, water intrusion points, eat up pads, spider crack at the drill holes from water hitting a hot rotor, and you’ll be lucky to find a shop to turn them once they warp which is going to happen.
