Well I finally got them done yesterday and so much smoother breaking now. These were my rotors and I really needed ten replaced.

Wow...how could you even let them get that bad in the first place!?!?! Looks like someone use this rotor for target practice...how does that happen???

I don't have much time also I just bought the car and been short on cash after timing belt, water pump, o2 and knock sensors.

Dude! You really did need new rotors, didn't you! That Michigan salt/snow really eats the metal up! I live in Alabama and we never, never see salt or much snow at all. Believe it or not, I still have the original rotors on my 01 at 213k! Just had my 3rd set of brakes put on a few months back. The first change the rotors weren't turned and this last brake change the tech mic'd the rotors and said there room to turn them for the first time. Sofar so good.
If they start to bump, I'll yank'm off and replace them. Pads were from O'Reilly Auto Parts, store brand, 'OE' ceramic. My tire shop did them for something like $120 -$150 per axle. I could have done them myself, but didn't have time and it was a good price for me. The brake guy at the tire place has been there many years and knows what he's doing. If I didn't trust him doing it, I would have done it myself.
