Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring RDA
> Disc brake rotors are a key part of your Honda Accord or Integra's braking. They wear out over time thanks to friction and heat, especially if you're doing a lot of city driving or giving it the beans in an Integra Type R or Accord R.
What Clued You In?
• Brakes are squealing or grinding.
• Feeling a wobble or pulsing when you hit the brakes.
• Seeing grooves, cracks, or rust on the rotor itself.
• Your stopping distance has increased - a worry!
WOF Worthy?
Worn or rooted brake rotors are a classic reason to fail a WOF here in NZ. They need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.

Difficulty: 6/10

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, mate, a bit of prep goes a long way. Safety first, eh? Never get under a car supported only by a jack – always use proper stands! Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean, and safety glasses. Brake dust can be nasty stuff, so give those rotors a good blast with Brake Cleaner before you start pulling things apart. A little squirt of anti-seize caliper grease on the hub will help when you're putting things back together too.
Expert Advice
Dodgy brake rotors mean your Honda Accord, Integra, or Legend won't stop like it should. Replacing them gets your braking back to top-notch and gives you confidence on the road. The RDA rotor is a great pick, and CARFIX has other options to suit your wallet. Bob @ CARFIX is always keen to lend a hand figuring out what you need for your Honda.

Fitment Notes
Double-check it's the right fit for your specific Honda model and year. Some models, like the Integra Type R, might have different rotor specs. Always do both rotors on the same axle at the same time for even braking.
