There are different Vendors around the place that offer Regrinds... and each claims theirs are the best...
main things that can go wrong with regrinds - is warped cams, incorrect profiles... and actual structural damage due to heat etc.
there are some places that show you a complete process... and guarantee their work... eg: www.deltacams.com
Im guessing you're running a D-series engine?
No I don't drive a Honda ;)
It's a MIVEC, and the off the shelf cams for the engine is $2500 + cam gears, springs etc etc

not interested myself but a friend is very keen
http://www.deltacam.com/ - just had the 's' on the end... sorry
www.Crower.com and www.skunk2.com. Skunk might do it. A friend said he had his done there but there is no link to see if they do. Crower I know does it. There are a few local shop here that do it but the bigger companies are more likely to offer a better warranty.
www.wadecams.com <-- they use fresh billets and are in Melbourne
the worry with regrinds is the method. the shit one is:
- blobbing on some weld and "re-grinding" the profile. obviously its not seamless coz its welded.... this is guaranteed to come off over time.
there is another method can't remember....
