Best bang for buck on rotors and pads?
Well Lanny, it IS going to last forever then! I'd love to greatly reduce the
# of miles I put on my 99, limiting it to the fun stuff because frankly, I would love for this thing to last forever for me! Unfortunately, at >20k / yr and over 90k now, that probably won't happen. Having just done the major service, I guess I'm in for a few more good years (hopefully).

Best bang for buck on rotors and pads?
Pat,
In 2001 I bought rebuilt front calipers for the '90 at Autozone for $41 each. Time and brake size may affect that price. Keep in mind, I only bought them because the originals were leaking. Probably had been for months before I found them while doing a brake job. BTW, competing with Lanny, I've put 400 miles on my '97 since January 12. I ride my bike to work, drive the Subie to the cabin and spend way too much time working on an old house on weekends rather than going for fun drives. -- Ken Lyons '97 Brilliant Black/'90 Classic Red Inside the Beltway "pws" > wrote in message ... > XS11E wrote: >> pws > wrote: >> >>> I figured that rebuilding the calipers would be a good idea since >>> they are about to hit 100K miles and 13 years of age. >> >> At the shop, we used a mobile brake service, they'd bring loaded calipers >> and turn rotors, all they need is an extension cord to run the brake >> lathe. >> >> Check and see if there's anyone in your area that does that, for us it >> was cheaper than having our mechanics turn rotors, rebuild calipers and >> install pads. > > Thanks, I plan on doing my own labor with the rotors/calipers/pads > swap-out, but I will look into a set of loaded rebuilds and see what the > cost is compared to dropping my spares off plus buying pads. > > I wonder if it is possible to get them loaded with OEM pads, time to make > some calls. > > I figure that I will just replace the rotors at $15.00 apiece.
