Suggested brake pads?

My pads still have plenty of life on them but I was always told to do pads with rotors

Why would you replace perfectly good brake pads? A light sanding to clean and roughen up the surfaces should be all you need. I assume you're replacing the rotors because they're warped?

I'm pretty sure 1 of of them has been warped. I've flip flopped them and all and still get a weird pulse sometimes when braking.

I was just under the assumption the pads are worn to the rotor surface so you replace them when you get new rotors

I was responding to the quote above. It is not necessary to replace rotors and pads as a set. If it were, they would sell them as a set.

Obviously if there is crash damage the rotors could need replacement before 100K. The pads can be lightly sanded and reused if plenty of material left. However as long as you're in there might as well start off with all new stuff. Save your old pads for later .

What grit would you use to sand a brake pad?

You just need it rough enough to break the glaze. Back in the old days we used to use a thick piece of glass, taped the sandpaper to the glass, then rub the brake pad across it to ensure flatness, checking them every few strokes to see the color change in the pad. When the color was even across the pad it was done.

Cool tip, thank you
