Impact driver & drill. All 4 rotors and pads in about 45minutes.

What if you don't have the impact driver or drill?

I don't need pads but my rotors might have deposits on them causing it to shudder under breaking (more so light breaking)

Then you buy them and are prepared for next time. And don't replace those stupid set screws. They are there for factory assembly only.

I had to use a drill to get @07TLX 's rotors off of his car, impact driver wasn't doing anything.

Plus a BFH, some choice words and a few hours of work....

The G35's rotors were a breeze by comparison.

It also helps if you don't live in the rust belt..

Do you know who my instructor will be?

The G35 spent most of its life in socal, so there is very little rust underneath, only on some of the exhaust clamps.

 

[sonej4]

Not sure where the BMW spent its life, but there is no rust. 250k miles meant it was well taken care of. The si hasn't seen snow either. My Nissan truck is the same way. I don't think I could deal with the snow, and rust.

 

[bootyluvr]

My car has spent all 106,000 miles of its life in Maryland.

I wouldn't change pads without at least turning the rotors. You need to bed in the pads

Never did this unless there was a vibration under braking, if there is not, I never had issues with just replacing pads, she'll be fine.

I think I got a bad set of front rotors on the G, so they're getting replaced.

Sounds good, and I agree, If it's needed. They can be checked with our fingernails. JAFYI..... If they are turned every time the pads are changed, we'll run out of enough rotor metal to keep them from warping(which is fine if we have the extra money). I just don't think they need it if they are still smooth. Washing the rotors, and also use some brake cleaner(on the rag), also helps.

They have them for the 9th Si, and ranging from $20-$45, depending on what type you want. Most of rockauto's inventory is usually in NY, so you might get them a day or two later, so order quickly.
