It's on my maintenance list for this year anyway. I don't know if the previous owner ever changed them and I'm at about 53k miles now.

I'll test drive it for you when we do your lip

How's next Sunday?

sounds good. yah, at 50K miles sounds about due for new rotors.

usually i replace rotors after the pads wear out the 2nd time. i dont even get them turned after the first pads are done. i just swap the pads and re-use.

Yeah, sometimes I tend to hold it when I park and I'm getting out of the car. Don't know why. I need to stop that.

That's not necessarily bad, especially if your brakes aren't super hot from recent heavy braking.

kenchan · 05-28-2013, 04:35 PM

im not sure... ive never been that paranoid about my brakes unless im doing a fast downhill on tuna canyon or something where extreme hard braking is required. after moving from socal, ive not had one issue with overheating brakes.

ive not had any warping issues on my cars.

no real special care either.

that's nuts!

Hi Mr.kenchan

We have an open house at the school tonight which is right at supper time of course.

I can't believe I'm talking about school already... Mini GaleForce is only 3
