Thanks for the info Dester. I always buy lifetime pads and shoes, so I
havent paid for any since I did the first brake job, along time ago. I
always get about 35-45,000 miles out of my pads/shoes. I just was thinking
since the pads last that long, they really should not be worn at all with
only 6,000 miles on them. I mean what can really happen with 6,000 mile old
pads and putting new rotors on now? Also I was hoping I wouldnt have to turn
them, as I did with the new rear drums, you can just go over them lightly
with some sandpaper in a circular motion, just wasnt sure if the same can be
done with rotors. No need to turn new drums. hopefully I wont have to with
the rotors.
