The OEM front rotor starts at 32mm and needs to be replaced when worn down to 30mm.

The OEM rear rotor starts at 11mm and needs to be replaced when worn down to 9mm.

After 20k miles of street driving, I replaced my OEM front and rear rotors with GiroDisc to reduce unsprung weight. The OEM front rotors that were removed measure 31.44mm on both sides and OEM rear rotors measure 10.65mm on both sides. All OEM rotors removed are in great shape (i.e., no surface cracks or warping).

Regarding the removed OEM front and rear rotors, is there any value in selling them locally (new replacements cost a lot) or simply keeping the OEM hats on the front and recycling the rotors? I have no intention of selling the car to revert back to stock. Also from what I understand, Honda does not sell replacement front rotors separately to bolt onto the OEM hats.

Not worth storing the rotors for later so I'll likely just recycle them unless someone in the local area could use them. Cost would be free for local pickup.

I just ordered front and rear Paragon rotors. I will be holding on to the OEM rotors, just in case cause you never know if something fails.

I've only see Paragon selling rotor replacements for the OEM hats, but for the cost you might as well get new ones from Honda or upgrade.

Thanks...I'll just recycle them. I already have too many OEM parts removed from my current vehicles that seem to only occupy space and will likely never be reinstalled or used again.
