ok...
i knew my rotors were bad for the longest time but my dad said to wait it out, which i did. and i had a bad feeling if i did they wouldn't be able to unwarp them and have to totally replace them.

well today it happened. $300 for new rotors and pads, and cleaned rear drums. that cut into my fix-it budget real deep.

still, i guess it is cheaper than having to do it to all 4 rotors.

dam dude that sucks... what kind of rotors and pads? that sound like what i did 6 months ago all4 discs (bendix) all pads (bendix) but as soon as i get the supra rotors i'm selling my rotors.

Brakes aren't too hard to DIY... just get a Chilton manual

so you replaced the rotors because they were warped? unless they were getting really rusty/brittle i would have left them as is

they were rusty and brittle...i could see the crusting on the edges. it was gross.

If they are warped beyond 'turnable' (machine-able) amounts then you have no other option?

Mabey you enjoy a vibrating brake pedal, you sick fuck.

come to think of it, i don't think so, but they're all small things that would just cost too much to fix
