replacing rotors?
replacing rotors?
Hi all.
I am planning on replacing the crappy stock rotors with new ones, can anyone recommend a brand or a site with good price. i am not looking for anything special, just good replacment rotors that will not warp on me. Do i need to replace the brake pads as well, or can i use the existing ones until they wear out. Will the ABS system need to be touched or resetted if the rotors is replaced? Good idea to do all four or just two(front only)?
Thanks
Jack

I just replaced my brakes and rotors myself and it's easy.
Anytime you do anything to the rotors you should replace the pads too. The pads get seated into the existing rotor, they wear into the imperfections of the rotor. When you put on a new rotor or even turn your rotors the pads can deteriorate the life of the new rotor.
Found out the hard way on my other car, the rotors were replaced because they were warped (under warranty) but the pads were not changed. Within a month one of the new rotors was beginning to wear unevenly and the tech said the brake pads were to blame.

I replaced my front OEM's with Stillen XD Rotors, Metal Matrix Pads and did the brake lines also.
