unless your rotors are toast all you need to do is turn them and put on new pads and lube up the calipers with high temp grease. prolly wouldn't hurt to use anti squeak on the shims and backs of the pads

Re: (Donboss)

neither if your rotors are good and need to just be turned (cut on a lathe)

How bad are they? So bad that there are scored marks on it. (little grooves?) I would get them refinished. But if you want some rotors. You can replace it with some brembo blanks or get one from Kragen. They are pretty good. I would go for any ceramic brakes. I used Kragen's "Satisfied" brand.

And doing some brake maintenance (lube clean) really does help with usage. So do it!
