Its your money if your bearings and seals are good and your having no problems I would keep them and just repack the bearings.

They really aren't that expensive. (in the overall scheme of things, what with 90 dollar rotors....) Having everything new is kinda good for the peace of mind too.

you know...you can input your make/model/year/engine/drivetrain in summit to make sure the application fits the part.

I would call them to be sure.

I would also not waste my money on drilled and slotted rotors. Unless you have added performance parts that create a NEED for stopping faster, then it is a waste of money. Good brake pads and turning the rotors will be fine.

With the cash you are spending here, you could get a SCT and tune frome hemifever for 275.

Not only that, but drilled rotors have a tendency to crack. They're best left to use on motorcycles.

For greater stopping power, install the ¾-ton rear wheel cylinders. No regrets and it's an affordable mod.

My 99 still has the hub/rotor. I really with I had the rear disks like the late 01's do. I just finished up replacing my shoes and cylinders on the drums and my god what a PITA.

Having the right tools makes it SO much easier. Brake spring pliers is my personal favorite. Granted, changing slave cylinders can be challenging..... brake lines tend to break, rather then unscrew..... but, consider where they hang out. Not exactly an environment conducive to staying clean, and rust free.

That's why I clean them up well and use a bit of anti-seize on the threads.
