Default RE: DIY, front brake pad replacement...

not to be an ars here, but using a sander or hand grinder on rotors is not quite right. if they need to be turned, go spend the $5 ea at autozone, checker, shucks, cragen, autoshack, napa, etc and have a proper machine do it level and smooth.

this is a great write up other wise man!!!
well that's the thing, they didnt need to be turned. no groves and no warpage. if they did, I would have trashed them anyway and went with powerstop pads & rotors.

edit: oh yeah, forgot to mention... after bedding the brakes, it stops better than it did when I 1st got the truck with 13.8k on it. It'll be interesting to see how well it stops when the odo says 84k...
