Thoughts on Pad/Rotor Combo

Yeah, I think changing the brake fluid and lines would go much further than changing all the hardware if it's still reasonably intact (not stripped or rusted.)

how necessary is it to change the hardware while doing pad/rotor install?
and or what is a must change/waste of money to change?

example this stuff (front pad/rotor install kit from ecs)


and rear install kit



I mainly ask because they sell stoptechs pad/rotor kit (im guessing without install stuff) for $400 or i can buy ECS geomet rotors and Hawk hps pads with install kit for $640.

Is the extra ~$200 in install kit needed? or should i just source pads and rotors only?

You probably won’t need what’s in those kits. I would spend some of that extra dough on some Tyrolsport brake caliper bushings.
