Choosing/Installing New Brake Rotors and Pads

[DmaxMaverick]

I've heard of some, but I'm not surprised. Mine are original, with 50%+ remaining and stops like new. The only service over the years is fluid. I know age is a factor, but I'm not inclined to fix what ain't broke.

I know what you mean. With 146,000 miles on my 2001, the brake pads still have more than half life, but with the rust, a couple of the pads don't make full contact with the rusty rotors. There were a couple of years where I didn't drive it much during the winter, and the rotors rusted more than they do in a typical year.
