Was walking to the car today after work and for some reason picked up a glint off my rotors. Went to take a look, low and behold, there's a few nice deep gauges out of the damned thing. Guess something got wedged between rotor and pad. Life's good eh? Anyway, figure I may as well replace them, because were I to machine them I'd probably lose 1/16 - 3/32" of surface. If I'm replacing the rotors I'll do the pads at the same time. I was thinking about brembo blanks, but do slotted/cross drilled perform better in the winter (i.e channel water away from the braking surface)? What would be a good, INEXPENSIVE pad to use with low dust and good wear? How hard are these things to change? Yay for another project to chew up money I would rather spend on a bumper.
