time for a brake job
OK, The brake wear indicator light came on yesterday and I jumped out to Pelican and bought the whole schmeal...rotors, pads, sensors, hardware, dampers.
I have the paste and cleaners already.
Ive inspected the brakes and still have some wear on them, especially given the way I drive...(i don't use the brakes much, I let a turn slow me down) but what is the collective thought on replacing the rotors.
they aren't warped, dont appear glazed, I am using soft semi-metallic pads because most of my trips with the car are short 2 to 5 mile stints and these perform well, even when they are cold. I'm tempted to swap the pads and sensors and see how it goes.
I can use the rotors anytime down the road on either car and the brake job is SO EASY, it takes 5 minutes a wheel, if that. the pads are cheap, even the sensors are cheap. If I waste a set of pads and I'm out maybe 50 bucks.
