EBC blank rotors are available for cheap. Tire rack seems to have pretty expensive rotors. I bought my EBC blanks for $40something for the fronts and $30something for the rears (each) at www.autopartswarehouse.com. Atleast...I think that's where I bought them.

OEM pads are cheap enough and good enough for street use. www.hondaautomotiveparts.com for those.

Any good name brand DOT3/4 brake fluid is fine for the street.
They are a lot more than that.

Why? If the OP is never going to use the pads to their full capacity, what's the point?

EBC redstuff is unnessecary for the S2000. They probably won't perform any better than the OEM pads. The OEM pads are MORE than enough for the street. I ran OEM pads at Road America when on my first HPDE with my S2000 8 days after I bought it.

They held up pretty decent even at the track. I've also run my friend's car at Gingerman Raceway HARD with stock pads. It was a mushy pedal type of drive home....but the pads still held up for an entire session.
what is the OP?

Hey Erik, take a look at the Brake forum here in S2Ki. Lots of info there

I have been looking in the brake section and there isn't a lot there.

Sometimes the problem doesn't seem bad and sometimes it does. I can't wait to get a better look at them. Does anyone know how much it costs to have a shop look at the rotors?

I am very very tempted to. I just don't know how bad they are. My friend who is going to automotive school said I might as well replace them all but thats just him. Plus the rears are probably still good.

if you're in doubt just replace the rotors. It's always nice to have fresh gears on the car anyway.
