If I were you I would get brand new brake pads and not take a chance!
What kind of rotors did you get?

You don't NEED them, but i would.

If your pads have plenty of material on them i might consider taking them down slightly with a few passes on a belt sander.

How much were they if you don't mind me asking?

What type of pads are the best or really good?


Reason I ask is because I need new rotors and pads too ... well, I want em'

Cool, I'll check em' out. I gotta do something because one of my front stock rotors is warped and the other one is all etched up ... Did you just get the stock size (diameter)?

Will 05-06 work on my 98? They don't show rotors for my year .... maybe stupid question?.?..

Damn, those things are bling. Are they a lot lighter than the stock 'anchors'?

Are those the RotorsPro rotors??


$200 for all 4...pretty damn good deal if you ask me. I know a few people who run them and they haven't had a single complaint with them.

http://www.rotorpros.com/

The painted center is additional cost.
