2008 Accord Rotor Diameter
So, my wife's rotors are warped at 24k miles. Dealer offered to turn them at no charge, but I figured I'll go ahead and upgrade to some better parts so I won't be re-visiting this issues in another 25k miles.
My parts stor says there are two diameters for 08' rotors.
I would assume the smaller is for lx and larger size for EX and EXL. Does anybody know?
I'll measure tonight if nobody knows. Thanks

Rotor warping at 24k is extremely premature. She must be a heavy braker..?
(edit: nvm, googling seems to show that premature rear pad wear is a common problem. Did the pads wear down too low causing the warping?)
If it were me I would just resurface them and go easy on the brakes assuming the driver is a no throttle control gas, brake, gas, gas, brake, gas, BRAKE, gas gas brake type. Or upgrade to Brembo Blank rotors and aftermarket pads.
The parts store (assuming Honda Parts) should know. I don't see why they wouldn't. But I'm almost certain the smaller rotor is for LX and larger for EX.

Rotors were already warped when we got the car...Honda has had issues w/brake pads wearing out pre maturely, I would assume the first pads worn too thin, or the previous owner was hard on the brakes.
All is well now w/ new rotors. They were appx 11.5", and was the larger diameter as suspected. Even though the pads were vitually new, I wish I had up graded to a ceramic, or at least a better quality than OEM, the OEM pads suck, but work for now.
