My 05 6mt sport is at around the 28k mile mark and at the dealer today they said my rear pads had 3mm left so basically those need to be replaced pretty soon and they also said my front rotor was warped. What should be my plan of attack? I havent seen much talk about 05 replacements in particular in the search so i was wondering what most people do?

 

there are lots of pads out there. I would stick with the stockers. I changed mine for Project Mu B-force pads, and I think the stockers are better and have less dust, too.

 

im in the same boat my dude. im replacing pads all around with hawk hps. and im replacing the front rotors with these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INFIN...spagenameZWDVW)

 

+1

My front rotors were warped and my rear pads were gone, i turned the front rotors and put Project Mu B-Forces on the front and turned the rear rotors with new oem pads. The Mu's have a little more bite, but alot more dust.

I'd have the rotors turned and put new oem pads on.
-GP-

 

Hawk is a MUCH better product. The stock sqeeeek is gone.

 

For $650 i bought 4 rotora slotted rotors, hawk hps pads, and stoptech SS lines with motul brake fluid. Works perfect for me

 

sorry for jacking this thread but i took my car into service and the dealer said i need to have my front and rear brakes resurfaced, what does that mean?

 

They shave down mm's of the rotor. Leaving you with a smooth surface for better braking. Only if there is enough rotor left to shave.

It's cheaper than buying new rotors. So you will save money.

 

oh ok thanks, im really new at this, but if im in need of new brake pads anyway isnt that a waste of money?

 

If the shop recommended resurfacing, it's likely because the rotors are scored up/marked up from your old pads. Resurfacing will provide for better braking perfomance from your new pads. You want the new brake pads to have a smooth, flat surface to "bed" to for proper braking. Don't skimp on brakes.

 

Rotors and brake pads work in conjunction with one another so you need a clean, flat surface on both in order to have optimal breaking.

The rotor is what the brake pads "squeeze."

 

so in the long run id be better off with just replacing the rotors right?

 

are these rotors any good? I just feel you pay for what you get...

 

drop me a PM I can help you out with some pads and rotors...

usually the 05 rotors will last you through two sets of pads... Its not too uncommon for a place to try and sell you more than you need... even if its a dealer... :-/

The stop tech rotors are top quality and best bang for your buck...
