#17722, "please help me out (rotors)"


          

Today I found out all of the rotors on my car were warped, and the mechanic said he couldn't turn them because the rotors will be out of spec.
So I need 4 rotors, and they said $105 each for fronts and $93 each for rears!! Total about $ 400!!!
I said forget about it. Time to get aftermarket rotors.
So here are some questions.

1. I did search and it seemed raceconcepts' rotors are pretty good ones. If I change my rotors, can I still use existing OEM pads (only 1 month old), or should I change brake pads as well?

2. Can I use raceconcepts' GSX rotors (larger than stock) for fronts with stock calipers and pads?

3. I haven't worked on brakes, is it easy to swapping rotors?

4. Do I need to bleed after changing rotors? If so, how to?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, but I would recomend new pads with new rotors, so they can wear together.

No, you need to get new GSX Calipers and pads.

Extremely easy to do, you dont even need to remove any lines and only one of the bolts on the caliper and swing it out of the way.

No you dont need to bleed anything since you arent removing any lines.
Even if you replace the pads, you don't need to bleed the system.

If you have any questions,
you can contact me.
