Ok thanks for all the replies guys. I haven't really looked much more into things yet since I have been busy at work plus going out of town the last 5 weekends. Who's going to the EC Honda meet? I think I might try and make it down there. Maybe I can actually meet some of you guys in person.

If you still need rotors (and probably pads, too), I have a set (or ten!) of very lightly used rotors... I could be convinced to let the entire set of rotors/pads go for, say, $150?

Forgot to mention my rotors also carry a 12mo/12k mile warranty. Crack them like Skip did and he just got a replacement. Granted Ive NEVER seen them crack like that in years of use (John Oldt races with them on his S2000), Skip didnt have to blink and he got a new one. WOOT

When you replace your rotors, put some penetrating oil on the screws before you start. Hopefully that will loosen them. In my case it didn't and I had to drill all of them (fronts and rears on both sides) and remove them with an Easy-out. Before you put the new screws in put some high-temp anti-seize compound on the threads.

You didn't have an impact screwdriver, Warren?

To OP, those screws are not necessary to reinstall.
