Pad and Rotor Question...

Simple5 · 09-18-2011, 12:51 AM

If my rotors are warped and the pads are still good. If I buy new rotors, do I have to replace the pads as well? My oem set got warped and I am going to get some slotted only rotors for the front.

you don't have to, but i would since you are going to have it apart anyway.

if the old pads are worn unevenly they will bed in eventually, stopping power may be reduced during that period.

i would take a look at them and check for any uneven wear and then decide.
