Ok all last night i started jackin my car up to take off the wheels off my car so i can color match my calipers... Started on the front and took of the two bolts that hold the piston in... Everytime i do this i always check my brake pads....

well come to find out there is no brake pad left, it is metal on metal and im not bullshitting you all on this one, idk how i didnt notice this...

Neway im not attempting to do this by myself, so i went out to autozone and bought a lifetime warranty of duralast front pads for the car they look much better

thing is, this is the first time the brakes on my car would be changed do i need to have my rotor resurfaced?? Or will i be ok with just payin midas or somethin like that to put on the break pads??

Please answer i need to do this by today sometime

 

if it was metal to metal your rotors are prolly pretty effed. how do they look?

 

the rotors dont look to bad, i mean it wasnt exactly metal to metal but its pretty damn close i think i just got to the metal part.... I can see a little pad left on the bottom left but then the rest is metal... I mean i dont stop my car hard at all, and i havent felt any vibrations at all either so idk

 

When you change the pads, pull the rotors off, and have a buddy drive you up to a brake shop (or Belle Tire) to have them check the run-out and, if possible, resurface them. It's only about $12 per rotor and ensures that everything is clean and straight preventing and premature warpage or strange wear issues.

 

Our car have crap rotors and are most likely no good(grooved so deep you cant resurface them within spec )
,I would buy a new set if you can afford it.
In my opinion when you resurface them they just end up warping in a short time and you have to do the job again.

 

well if i dont resurface them will i be ok??

 

just get some decent aftermarket ones. you'll be happy you did.

 

max..... ur best bet is to by a new set of rotors.. but i told u if u *** by the shop bring ur rotors n ill c if i can cut them.... and while ur here u can get my piston depressor.... ill explain how to use it and all.... then go home n put them on...
