just thought I'd post this before I actually started.
5 has 32K miles. when having a tire repaired the tech commented the rear brakes were low; sure enough, they are. that was a surprise because I've never worn out rears before the fronts. the fronts are down pretty far too, but still have some meat.
so after much looking, I decided to order a set of rotors and pads from one of the MANY ebay sellers. $170 free shipping. cadmium plated, drilled, ceramic pads.
problem with these sellers is you don't really know what you're getting, but at the same time, everyone complains about the OEM rotors and the autozone rotors, so how bad could they be?
I saved another $20 when they gave me a partial refund, just because I asked for a tracking number, wondering when I'll get them!
so, I'll either really regret this, or have one heck of a deal. I'll keep you posted.
