Slapping on New Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring RDA
> Your Honda Accord's disc brake rotors are what your brake pads squeeze to slow you down. Over time, they cop a beating from friction and heat, which can make your braking a bit dodgy, especially in tough conditions. Let's get them sorted.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a gutted possum when you brake?
• Brake pedal doing the Macarena (vibrating like crazy)?
• Taking longer to pull up than you'd like?
• Rotors looking like they've seen better days (scoring, cracks, rust)?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn out brake rotors are a classic WOF fail. They gotta be within thickness specs and no major damage to get the tick of approval.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1.5 - 2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking, let's make sure you're set up for success. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any brake dust or debris in your peepers. Safety glasses are a no-brainer.
• Nitrile Gloves: Brake dust and grease are yuck. Keep your hands clean with some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away that carbon dust and grime from the new rotors before you fit them. Get yourself a can of Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots helps everything move smoothly and prevents squeaks.
Expert Recommendation
Replacing your Honda's brake rotors is crucial for good stopping power. RDA rotors (RDA8203) are a top pick, but CARFIX has a range of options to suit any budget. Give Bob a yell down at Bob's Shop, and he'll sort you out with the right parts for your Honda Accord.
Fitment Notes
Double-check it fits your Honda Accord (2008-2013 i-VTEC or 2008-2015 i). Always do rotors in pairs (both fronts or both rears) for even braking.

🧰 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.
