I picked up a micrometer, and I'm not sure if the lip is affecting the measurement, but I got around 22.6mm measurements on the front, which seems to be right around the minimum wear.

So it looks like I'm going to go with pads and rotors. When doing it, what do you do first? The diys are a little vague on this - do you first switch out the rotor, and then the pads? Or vice versa?

I'm getting Textar pads and Zimmerman coated rotors. Seems pretty close to OEM for the cost, what do you guys think? I thought about the cheaper mintex pads and balo rotors, but I'm not sure if they are as good.

I use textar and zimmerman and have had great results. I am seriously thinking about ceramic pads the next time though for the lower dust output.
