brake time again

That's right, I forgot, you need to buy new seals for the bearing re-pack.

When I did mine I had new seals on hand & I used them. But, I kept the old ones as when I "gently" used a seal puller (Advance Auto) they came out in what looked like pristine, reusable condition. I think in a pinch if their not damaged you could "in theory" re-use them.

Yes, you can re-use them if they didn't get chewed up.

I did search. I am told I am at 20-25%. I need all new rotors they are too thin to turn. They also said the fronts are press on rotors and need a whole breakdown to do.(what this means I do not know) I also saw a thread that said rotos can be resurfaced. What is this and how is it done or who do I use? Also I see plenty of rotors on ebay what is the deal any good or to stay away from? Feel free to add anything I may not have asked yet.

If I was you I would go ahead and buy some aftermarket rotors. The thing to be sure about though is to get stock Isuzu pads. I have R1Concepts rotors and stock pads and all is good. However, I originally put the R1Concepts rotors on with R1Concepts pads and my brake performance was TERRIBLE (scary in fact ).

I think as long as you stick with stock pads and decent quality aftermarket rotors will be fine.

semi metalic or ceramic?

Honestly, I don't know. The better pads are Isuzu pads from Merlin. From what I understand it is not what they are made of, but the thickness of the pad. But then again, I don't really know. It could be the material as well...
