Any chance you've just got some pebbles or other nonsense trapped behind the heat shield? I've got a 2019 and on occasion need to pull the front wheels to clean that crap out. I'm not sure if the later models addressed that issue.
This is super common for my car. The pebbles get trapped in the dust shield behind the brakes and make a loud high pitched squeak especially as Im driving around at low speeds.

This is different. Its a low loud metal on metal grinding that I can feel transmitted from the brake pedal and feel the vibrations in my feet. It only comes on as im coming to a stop, especially if the wheel is turned. What I suspect is happening is that my pads are super low and the lip on my rotor is so aggressive that the metal part of the pad is coming into contact with the lip. It sounds similar to metal on metal scraping similar to if you run brake pads that are completely worn. However I have about 1-2mm of brake pad left.

It could ostensibly be something else, but it started when my pads got low, and I need to replace the pads and rotors anyways so we will see if that fixes it.

are the rotors sold individually or as a set?
It can vary between the brand how they are sold. If they are sold as a pair we have that mentioned in the title of the product. If it is not mentioned that it is sold as a pair then they are sold individually. If you have any questions on specific set you can email in or message us and we can help out. OEM rotors are sold individually.

Rotors are in really short supply from many manufacturers at the moment, but I do have the following in stock that won't break the bank. Not listing the Paragon 2-piece that are also in stock as they're above your stated budget/needs.

Fronts

DBA Front Blanks, $285/set: https://unity-performance.com/produ...hield-front-blank-rotors-2017-21-civic-type-r - street replacement rotor

DBA T2 Slotted, $403/set: https://unity-performance.com/products/dba-3000-series-front-slotted-rotors-2017-21-civic-type-r - best suited for street use, and light to mild tracking

DBA T3 Slotted, $472/set: https://unity-performance.com/products/dba-4000-series-slotted-front-rotors-2017-21-civic-type-r - can handle heavy track use as it has additional cooling vanes, and it's a high carbon alloyed iron rotor that handles higher temperatures better

--

Rears

Centric Brank Rears, $154/set: https://unity-performance.com/products/centric-blank-rear-rotors-civic-type-r - street replacement rotor, but many don't mind replacing this once or twice a year if they're tracking heavily

EBC Slotted Rears, $288/set: https://unity-performance.com/products/ebc-slotted-rear-rotors-civic-type-r - fine for all uses

OEM Rears in stock but not yet listed on the site, shoot me a PM. Let me know if you have any questions. Just to reiterate, above isn't my full collection of Rotors, just the ones I have ready to go on my shelves :)
Just ordered the T2 :)

Thank You! I'll process it shortly, and you should have them by the end of the week :)

Here's a recent pic from another customer who got T2's, definitely share some when you get yours on! 🙌
