Brembro brakes + crap pads. Too late to change?
Got a question, I got brembro cross drilled /slotted on the front, but at the time I was in a severe situation where I needed my car out immediately so I had to get autozone 30 "performance" brakes.
Well anyways, i know its autozone brakes, just curious, ive had my brakes on for about 5k miles, is it too late to switch brake pads now ? Uneven wear will happen I assume ?
Because i cant really get the rotors resurfaced....

I wouldn't worry about it. With my Wilwoods, I change the pads all the time and NEVER get the rotors turned. Never had a problem with glazing or cracking. Seasoned rotors tend to be a better bedding surface anyway.
Why can't you get the rotors turned? What pads are you planning on using?

Thinking about getting green stuff.
I gotta bleed the brakes too, that should be fun.

Ewwwww green stuff!
I say go Axxis Ultimates.
My friend had Green stuff on his gsr, and they fade really nasty, as well as tore the **** out of his rotors.

Im just curious will it be fine to change them like 5/6k miles after i put other ones in ?
I am not gonna get uneven wear ?

You can just put drilled rotors on, but its just going to hurt your braking performance.
Drilling / Slotting + stock sized rotors =

You shouldn't have any problems switching just the pads. I've done that many times on other cars without any problems.
