I've got about 67k on my 2001. It's time for front brakes as they're getting thin and the warning light is on. I'll replace the rotors as well since there's a wobble there. I'd like to use good drilled and slotted ones. Are there any specific recommendations for replacement parts? I may do the work myself so are there any surprises in store? Thanks!

 

Front barkes & rotors are pretty easy. Don't forget to check your rears, too. Thay may not NEED replacing, at this moment, but, it's always a good idea to eyeball them whenever you do brakes. It will help you get an idea of how fast they're wearing.

I've got a good link to a buncha very informative brake guys, but it's at home and I'm at work, at the moment. I'll post it up later, when I get home & settle in for a long night of pr0n-surf... I mean time on teh forums

My mechanic actually finally convinced me to abandon my D&S'd rotors in favor of just drilled. I remain convinced. Slotted have more parcticality on the track, so, unless you're going to track your car its advantaged are negligible in everyday driving.

The link I have is for a website that has a # where you can call in and talk to someone about your specific needs and get advice based o n that...

 

As promised: http://www.raceshopper.com/

There's a number, at the top of the page. Give them a call. They gave me straight advice, in the past (even tho I ignored it, it turned out to be right).

 

Thanks, I have checked the rears and they have a lot left. I'll order the front brakes and rotors and jump into it.

 

good luck.
