ok...i'm puttin on an aem big rotor kit...i've heard that you have to put new pads on at the same time... is that true?

 

is this guy for real, is this funny just for me or is people actually getting a kick out of it

ok man just use the same brake pads, it will be OK

 

it would be "OK" but its not recommended. Try searching AEM's website or talk to their customer service reps and find out what you need to do the install.

 

its bettert to change the pads at the same time. Brake pads will create a wear pattern. If the rotors u had previously had any kind of groves or wear marks, u would have the same groves and wear marks on that corresponding pad. Now what happens is, when u take that pad off, and use it with ur new rotor it will transfer those groves and wear marks from ur pad onto ur new rotor. It will trash a new rotor, especially if they are ceramic pads. If ur going to spend good money on rotors, u might as well spend sum on pads too.

 

the rotors are used too, off my friends car...

 

Resurface + new pads...

 

yea, i would just have ur rotors turned, and get new pads.........................r they slotted or drilled.................if so i would get a set of ceramic pads.

 

aem slotted, the thing is i have ebc green stuff pads that are only 6 months old, and they're not cheap, and front rotors are mildly warped...

 

i know how pricy those pads r, i think it would be safe to say, go ahead and use those pads and when it comes time to replace them, have ur rotors turned at that time.

 

i heard if you have warped rotors turned... that they warp back twice as fast and turn out twice as bad... is this true?

 

you'll be alright if you decide to use old brake pads but you'll be better of spending the extra $200 on good brake pads. Reasons are is because you would rather have the pads and the rotors work in evenly

Recommed pads AXISS i believe thats what there called just installed them on my rotora slotted disk a day or 2 ago and they work wonderss
