Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring DBA
> Your Honda's brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit. Over time, they cop a beating from friction and heat, especially in cars like the Civic and Accord that are always on the go. If they're warped or damaged, your braking won't be as sharp, and that's not ideal.
Signs It's Time for New Rotors
• Brakes are making a racket – squealing or grinding noises
• Feeling a wobble or judder when you hit the brakes
• Taking longer to stop than usual
• Rotors look rough – scoring or damage you can see
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF check here in NZ. They need to be a certain thickness and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: About 1-2 hours per rotor

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those rotors, let's make sure you're sorted with a few essentials. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any brake dust or rust in your peepers. Safety Glasses are a no-brainer.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep your hands clean and protected from brake fluid and grime. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Grab some Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: This stuff is gold for blasting away brake dust and gunk from the new rotors and calipers. Makes everything work smoother. Get yourself some Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the caliper pins ensures everything moves freely. A little goes a long way.
And a golden rule: never, ever get under a car that's only supported by a jack! Use proper stands – your life's worth it.
Fitment Notes
Double-check that these rotors fit your specific Honda model and year. Some might need different sizes or setups. Always replace rotors in pairs to keep your braking balanced.

• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
