You should not need new rotors unless they are really shot.
How miles has the car? is there any ripple on the disc surface?

I wonder if this is because of the ceramic pads, but those pads are pretty good.22k miles, sorry I forgot to answer that earlier.
$386 for installation of hawk pads + resurfacing. They really tried to sell me those new rotors lol. I guess the technician said he resurfaced some guy's rotors the day before and the guy came in today saying it failed. It would have been $195 just for the brake installation.
Also got my HID light that burnt out replaced under warranty.
The brakes have muchhh less grab but I'm guessing that's from the resurfaced rotors. He said they are at min spec now.
The hawk ceramics will have less bite, but less dust as well. That's the sacrifice being made with these pads. I'm running these on my Honda Accord V6 with DBA 4000 slotted rotors.Just got the rotors resurfaced and put on the hawk ceramics. MUCH less bite, but I really don't care about that... Not track racing on a daily basis.
If I didn't drive my F every day, I probably would not have changed the pads but I simply don't have the time to clean the wheels every day.I was also tempted to use ceramic pads for less brake dust. Nothing I hate more than scrubbing brake dust off the wheels but after much research I decided not to trade performance for cleaner pads. The point is not whether you race the car. Less bite means longer stopping distance. In an emergency situation like someone dashing across the street or the another car cutting you off, that 3 feet of stopping distance makes a world of difference.
I stuck with high friction Porterfield pads and bought Mother All Wheel Clearns for the brake dust problem![]()
