[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 903431, member: 52972"] Caymen is correct that it is OK to keep the same brake pads assuming they have plenty of material left and they are not glazed or cracked and they do not show any signs of irregular wear. If the pads are slightly glazed you can take the glaze off with some sandpaper, and they are good to go. I am not exactly sure where he gets the idea that you have a lifetime warranty on pads??? It sounds like the vehicle had a recent brake job and the rotors were turned down to the limit. The thinner the rotors are the more susceptable they are to warping again, and even faster. If rotors warped once, they will continue to warp quicker after they are turned. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
