Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — RDA Featured
> Your Honda Civic's disc brake rotors are what your brake pads clamp onto to bring you to a stop. Over time, they cop a beating from heat and friction, especially if you're doing a lot of stop-start driving in your Civic or Integra. If they're past their best, best to get them swapped, mate.
Spotting the Signs of Dodgy Rotors
• Your brake pedal's doing the Macarena (vibrating like crazy)
• Sounds like a flock of seagulls every time you brake
• Taking longer to pull up than a cafe lunch
• Rotors looking like they've been through a war (cracked or deeply grooved)
• Brake pads wearing unevenly? That's a worry.
WOF Woes?
Worn rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be within the thickness specs and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Hand it to the Pros?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: Give yourself 1-2 hours per rotor
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skip on safety!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner. You might need a brake caliper tool too.
Expert Tip From Bob
Replacing rotors is a no-brainer for safe braking. The RDA rotor (RDA187) is a solid choice, but CARFIX has options for every budget.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper stands. And chuck on some Safety Glasses to keep the crud out of your peepers.
• Keep it Clean: Give those new rotors a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of any manufacturing oils. No one wants contaminated brakes!
• Glove Up: Brake jobs can be dusty and grimy. A decent set of Nitrile Gloves will save your hands from looking like you've been down a coal mine. Plus, they'll protect your skin from brake cleaner.
• Don't Forget the Grease: When reassembling your brakes, use a proper anti-seize Caliper Grease on the caliper bolts and sliders. This will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent those annoying squeaks.

Fitment Notes
Double-check these rotors fit your exact Honda model and year. Rotor sizes can vary. Always swap rotors in pairs for even braking. Bob @ CARFIX is always on hand to help you work out exactly what part you need for your Honda. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• 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.
