You normally would never need to resurface the rear rotors on this car, we only resurface the front unless there's something really abnormal.

Pros: only resurface front

Cons: something really abnormal

During my last service, I mentioned there was possible rocks or something rubbing in between the pads + rotors on one of the corners. They diagnosed and machining the rotors fixed it.

Pros: machining fixed rubbing

Cons: rocks rubbing

Mileage: 65000 km

E36 non M3 brakes up front is probably your easiest and cheapest way to go, dirt cheap and readily available everywhere, the 286mm rotors and calipers leave just enough room for 15inch wheels and they are provide plenty of power and heat disappation for a street E30.

Pros: cheap and readily available

Vehicle: BMW

FCP Euro Zimmer + Akebono kit replace if you want less dust and prefer more linear (ceramic) braking.

Pros: less dust, linear braking

Zimmerman rotors are a good replacement for oem. Get your choice of pads. I like oem style so something like Textar or Pagid are good choices.

Pros: good replacement for oem

You are being taken for a ride. 7 mm is the run out for Honda/Acura. I own a 2001 accord, and a 2004 crv, and have never had to replace the rotors, or calipers.

Rating 2.0

My front brake discs keep getting warped after 500-1000km. Same issue with 3 sets of new, quality (Zimmermann) discs. The vibration that returns after said 500-1000km is always exactly the same.

Cons: discs warp quickly

Mileage: 1000 km
