    I almost fell out of my chair when my dealer told me that new rotors and pads
    would cost $470 total. Is this about right? He said the "front end" has to be
    removed so it's mostly a labor issue. Thanks for any advice.

    That's correct. The steering knuckle has to be removed from the car and the
    hub pressed off before the rotor can be removed.

    Honda changed the design for the '98 model year to make rotors easier to
    remove. You still have the old, bad design.

    Thanks Tegger. My service guy is usually straight up with me and I guess I
    have to expect expenditures like this for a 13 year old car.

    but the real question is why you think you need the rotors replacing in
    the first place. what are the symptoms you're experiencing?

    Armand appears to be in Noo Joisey. Rust is probably a factor, along
    with thickness under minimum limits.
