So there is a light for when your brakes need replacing? I know there are sensors on the pads.

I've had my '97 box for about a month now, and thought the brakes needed changing cause they squeel a little when i stop. Should i wait till i see a brake light on the dash?

For your question, i would definately recommend doing the job elsewhere than the dealership. If you're handy with tools you can do it yourself fairly easily, rotors as well. Alot of people opt for lower dust pads to keep their wheels nicer. I've heard alot of people use Mintex ones... seen them on e-bay about $100 or so for all four wheels. As far as the cross-drilled rotors i don't see why not. They look nice!
