Disks all the way around, my friend has a Durango and he was jealous of the rear disks. Yeah, i'll get them turned and see how that goes.

i wouldnt take my chances on trunign them my dad and i learned the hard way(by his experience) that you should just do it right the first time and save yourself some trouble

besides you dont want to take the brakes off a ny more than you have to bc the bolts have a habit of stripping out on them if your not careful just FYI i would just get the new rotors and save myself a LOT of hassle

I've had rotors turned before without any hassle, i'll ask the guy there what he thinks, depending on how much it is I might do it just to see.

in most instances, it costs slightly more or just about as much to turn rotors compared to purchasing new ones.

ya we only saved like 5-10 on having them turned over buying new ones so its not worth the hassle of putting turned ones back on we just buy new its easier and quicker

How should one go about painting ones rims? What are some good black rims for the dakota? I'm wanting to put lower profile tires on it, and keep the four originals in case I need to to something.

you might wanna look into some aftermarket parts. i picked up some power slot slotted rotors, fr and rr for 400 and ebc green brake pads for about 140 fr and rr.
