Brake Job Question - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Do you guys resurface your rotors or replace em? It would be the first brake job on a 2010 Highlander. If you replace them, what rotors do you recommend?
Thanks

Always turn them instead of replacing if possible (why throw a good part away?). But if you're not getting any pulsing in the brake when stopping and the surface is still smooth, don't even bother having them turned. Just slap some new pads on.

A 2010 needs brakes already? You must put alot of miles down every year.

dang I'm at 70k miles and still on originals.....that seems way early

I actually may not have to do them yet. I had to order tires so I ordered pads to do when needed. Went through tire rack and got the Duelers and
Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Pads since I was paying shipping anyway.

Well, you know your car better than anyone in this forum, but it does seem a bit premature.

Yeah, I jumped the gun on em. I have at least another 35000 but oh well.
