80k -- First Break Service question

[tom4bren]

"I've been living with a warped front rotor for a year and a half, and I can't take it anymore."

Have you checked to see if the warped rotor can be turned? I had a warped rotor on my Eclipse recently that they were able to repair by turning it.

Cool - Guys,

Sounds like it's OEM pads, Autozone Rotors, steel Lines and my mechanic...

It's kinda jacked the pads are the most expensive part of this project....

Call Merlin and/or your local dealer to see if you can get a decent price on a set.

We are going to find that many Isuzu OEM parts are not being kept in stock in the US anymore, which is going to make them expensive and slow to get.

i got my pads maybe 6 months ago.. both front and rear were at the dealership already, i think 110-120 for the fronts and 90 for the rears

Thanks for the suggestion, but they were already turned once - hence the warp now. Thinner rotors are more prone to warping, so you can't continue to turn them down. Besides, at this point, I've got >100k on the original front rotors. If I'm going to go through the hassle of getting to them, they're getting replaced.
