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!
Thanks for your reply.

As far as your question. I usually wait til the light goes on in the dash. Some people i know dont replace sensors because its somewhat of a hassle as ive read. Right now my light has only come on once and turned off. I will replace when it is steadily on. Thats usually about another week or so.
