Allright im confused.
I'm finding quite a few things saying good rotors should never be turned and other things saying with any modern pad, drilled and or slotted rotors are not going to do anything but reduce surface area hurt brake performance. ?

Its clear I shouldn't get any new rotors untill I've worn these pads through and get new ones as I am not going to junk them. And I don't think I want to get anything but frozen ones because I really don't want to have to deal with this again.

So, if I leave the warped rotors in there until the pads are low enough to change, and I going to damage any bushings or parts up there?

It will not hurt anything putting new rotors onto a car with old pads. The pads performance will be diminished a little until the pad wears to the rotor but it won't hurt anything. It's harder on your car with warped rotors.



Search for my thread "drilled/slotted rotors"

Here...I had it bookmarked.

Thanks j, looks like I would ideally want some slotted only rotors.
