what do you mean by bent up the brakes?
if everything is fine and you're just replacing the discs that's not a problem, discs are consumable items anyway. i can't tell you how much geninue discs are, however good aftermarket (eg. RDA) discs are often cheaper and in some cases better than OEM

I'll just assume he was doing yanking his handbrakes trying to imitate a drift and may have damaged his rotors and possible the calipers ? Am I on the right track ?
pics would be nice too

whoa bad news. how did he do that and just damage the brakes? it sounds like he should have mangled the suspension components/axle for that wheel :eek:

2k? sounds a bit pricey.
is it a 92-97 Prelude Si? If so we should have the parts (but we're in SA). Might cost you a couple of hundred for parts, and no more than 300-400 bucks for labour, surely!
