Mine did not require this! But a very good question. I only have 18k miles on my car and its 95% Expressway driving that I do. My pads where still good but wanted to elimiate the brake dust a little with out giving up the performace we get from the OEM pads.

As Mike stated, mostly highway driving. We also ran out fingers over the rotor pad surface and there were no uneven spots or grooves depiciting warpage. If you wait to change pads until there is about 25% or less left, it is best to re-surface. Also, if you are hard on the brakes and especially if you feel any pulsing (non ABS).

thanks guys for another DIY!!
Mike, i can't get enough of those T1S, I really want to get the black ones, but i can't wait 2 month for them!!! But i swear if i get them, my car will be like a mirror version of yours, but white, and black for the rims I might end up getting the black Privat Netz 19's after all, since i don't want to wait

Nice write up! After you're done with Little E's car, can you guys drive down to So Cal and do mine?
ps. Cute helper you had there! Did he give his paw of approval?
