I'm also gonna change my rotors but I want to break the pads in (300 miles?) also whate else should I be aware of after changing the rotors...should there be another break in period? Last question what are the best kind of rotors to put on (replacing OEM-probably originals) I don't wanna start the debate on rotors but should I consider going with slotted rotors...oh...I don't really race just regular daily driving stuff

 

If you replace the rotors, you're gonna want to use new pads. You are wearing a pattern into your pads now, and they will wear that pattern into your new rotors.

With new rotors should always come new pads.

 

I think that you're wrong no offense...because don't you want to break in the rotors....I heard it somewhere so don't beef...but lets see....thanx though

 

I have powerstop rotors all aorund on my Altima, and they come with a yellow piece of paper saying to use new pads and drive slowly and not to stomp on the brakes for at least 500 miles to break the rotors in.

No offense taken, but I do believe you need to break rotors in.

 

If you are going to change the pads/rotors, just do it at the same time. Just break the set in as per the pad or rotor instructions. If no instructions are included, just drive gently for a few hundred miles.

Dig around for Matt93se's website. He probably has some info there.

 

new rotors should always be broken in with old pads, if you have the option.
the caveat is that the old pads should have been used on rotors that weren't gouged or whatever...

New rotors shoudl have 4-500 miles of easy driving on them before you really get into hard braking.
go to www.wilwood.com of almost any other brake manufacturer website to see this info again.

Also rear the brake part #s faq at the top of the page for sources on your parts.

 

See I told ya... , j/k thanks to everyone for their help and comments...especially Matt....aztec maxes FOREVER
