you know I never measured the rotors. i just took their word for it...

I believe the rotors on the car are original. so 73k on them. but the brakes no NOT show any signs of warpage as the pedal feel is firm and solid no pulsing.

there is slight wobble in the steering wheel - but I believe that is more likely due to the really worn out tires. they are being ordered this week and will be on by Saturday.

I guess I could just order pads and do those, and wait on teh rotors. assumign no cracks or warpage - how long does a rotor last before it truly goes under the wear limits?

in my experience, rotors go bad b/c of warpage/turning and then they get too thing. but it's the turning that thins them out - not everyday wear/tear...

the rotors are not cheap - if I go OEM. like $140/rotor. so if I could skip new rotors, I'd be saving myself almost $500.

is there anywhere I can just buy a cheap micrometer retial - and not have to order one online.. pepboys stock stuff like this?
