Spend a few $ more and use Hawk HPS pads.
You'll be glad you did. Bleed the brakes while
you're at it...:)

yes, im leaning towards hawk hps,everyone says they stop good but do they squeel.

No squeel, at least not on the 2 cars I've used them on.

How many miles? I'd certainly prefer the OE rotors properly refinished to some of what is available presently.

70xxx,I'm sure there's a little bit of life left in rotors,there rusty and nasty,warped.dont want to do brakes in 8 months from now so ill do everything now,I think napa will be best bet for rotors.
