04465-30410 Front brake pads $45.00

I think this is all I'll need to replicate a 45,000 mile service. Any other suggestions definitely welcome I'm a newbie owner. I'll throw up pictures of my care soon. I have 20" rims (Konig Unknowns).
But the exact same thing + windshield wipers.

Did any of you guys changed the rotors while you changed the brake pads?

i dont know about other but i would not recommend them. this guy at my job is a mechanic and works commercial through autozone. he installed those brake pads and the next day and so forth they would make a loud squeaking noise when i hit the brake. i mean LOUD. i heard my wife hitting the brake from around the corner when she borrowed my car. kind of sounded like a school bus when they brake and its loud. i replaced them with the pads from sewell and front shims and that noise has gone away.

Is it necessary to replace the shims? I thought all you need to do is clean the shims with brake cleaner and then apply anti-squeal lube?

100% necessary...no. All I did when I replaced my front brakes and rotors was cleaned the OE shims off good and applied some lithium grease. Never have had a problem or noise whatsoever.
