Reference rotors and brake pads

I changed my rotors, brake pads and brake sensors a few years back. I've probably put on over 70,000 miles since the complete brake job.

I purchased all my parts from RockAuto except for a brake parts kit (extra springs, nuts & bolts for the calibers) from Pelican Parts. I always look up what I need using Pelican Parts and then go to RockAuto to purchase the parts at a greatly reduced price.

All four rotors, new pads and sensors cost less than $170. I've did the work myself and I've had no problems.

I also would not do any brake work other than changing out the brake fluid unless my brake wear sensors went off.
