Brake discs OEM Honda or Duralast

Since enrolling in the daily death-race a year ago, I've: Replaced the Serp. Belt and idler, adjusted the valves, changed CVT oil and its filter a couple times, swapped O2 and Mass airflow sensors, replaced front brake rotors and pads, upgraded headlamps and added an Acura switched light for the rear so I can turn it off and leave the hatch open. I've got the set of drums and pads for the back waiting for a good day - that should fix whatever caused the parking brake to seize until I stopped setting it last winter.

Dynamic Friction makes a good geomet-coated rotor that is excellent for what they cost.

Dynamic Friction are great with ceramic pads, only complaint is cosmetic, they do not coat the rotors so after some rain the inside hub of the rotors starts to rust. Purely cosmetic, great rotors! I drive them fast regularly and they perform better than OEM

when I did the brakes on my ‘17 GTI about 20k miles ago I used Duralast Gold rotors and pads from AutoZone. Low dust, low noise, stop fine and the rotor hubs are coated so they don’t rust in five minutes. They’ve been perfectly cromulent.

Buy Honda ones from the Honda dealership

I use Duralast Gold rotors on my two endurance race cars - they are great. I wouldn't expect the basic ones to be anything special, but they should work just fine.

My '21 brakes started shaking around 20K miles as well. I installed Dynamic Friction coated rotors and ceramic pads from Rockauto. They have lasted longer than the stock OEM brakes with similar performance.

For instance, on my Honda Fit, I went aftermarket on the brake rotors because the factory ones had a habit of warping with my driving.

OEM rotors were badly warped within the first year and Honda refused to warranty because they were “still in spec”. Of all OEM Honda parts, I think their brake rotors are one of the worst quality I have experienced.

Why are Honda original equipment rotors such garbage?
