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.

Mystic ZR-1 · 03-08-2014

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.
