Typically, Honda brake rotors cost about $60–$130 per front rotor and $40–$90 per rear rotor when buying genuine Honda parts; aftermarket rotors can be cheaper or more expensive depending on brand and features, while high-performance options can reach $100–$250 per rotor. Don’t forget to budget an additional $100–$200 per axle for installation.
Prices vary by model year, rotor size, and retailer. This article breaks down typical price ranges, factors that influence cost, and how to estimate total expense including installation.
What influences rotor pricing
Rotor price is influenced by whether you buy OEM (genuine Honda) parts or aftermarket equivalents, the rotor design (standard vented versus drilled or slotted), the rotor size required by your model/year, and where you purchase (dealer, independent shop, or online retailer). Pricing can also differ depending on whether you’re buying rotors per rotor, per pair, or as part of a brake kit.
Pricing by category
Before listing typical price ranges, note that many retailers price rotors per unit, while some quotes refer to a pair or an entire axle. The ranges below reflect common market options you’ll encounter when shopping for Honda rotors.
- OEM front rotors for common Honda models: roughly $60–$130 per rotor.
- OEM rear rotors: roughly $40–$90 per rotor.
- Aftermarket standard rotors (non-OEM brands): roughly $25–$100 per rotor, depending on brand and quality.
- High-performance rotors (slotted, drilled, or cross-drilled): roughly $100–$250 per rotor.
Prices can vary by model year, rotor size, and retailer. Check specific listings for your vehicle to get exact numbers, and be mindful of shipping costs if buying online.
Installation and total cost considerations
Rotor replacement costs include labor in addition to the parts. Depending on your area and whether you replace pads at the same time, labor typically runs about $100–$200 per axle at independent shops, with higher rates at dealerships. If you replace rotors on both axles, multiply accordingly and consider any additional services like rotor resurfacing or caliper inspection.
Model-specific notes
Honda uses a range of rotor sizes across generations. The Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Pilot each have different rotor diameters and thicknesses, and some trims may use different designs. Always verify the exact rotor size and compatibility for your specific model/year before purchasing.
Summary
Honda rotor pricing varies with part type, design, and model year. Expect front OEM rotors to cost roughly $60–$130 each and rear OEM rotors around $40–$90 each; aftermarket rotors offer broader price ranges, and high-performance options are typically more expensive. Add installation labor—roughly $100–$200 per axle in many markets—when budgeting. Always confirm rotor size and compatibility for your vehicle to get precise quotes from retailers or service shops.
