Exclamation Mechanic Suggested New Rotors...

So today when I was finally getting my oil changed, I asked them to check out my rotors and my front suspension and they said all 4 rotors need to be replaced (because they are warped) and I asked him about d/s rotors and he said he could put them on, but he wouldnt suggest them because they warp alot faster than Motorcraft and so i haven't done anything yet but he said he had Brymbo rotors i think thats how you spell it. but he said there good for towing, racing or if you live in the mountains and your on the brakes alot, but i do do any of them, i drive mixed city and highway but what should i do. i have herd alot of d/s rotors lasting a long time. and thats what i need with the economy the way it is. help and advice would be great. if you want to hear what he said about my suspension, go to the suspension thread "Bad and EXSPENSIVE news about my squeaking and shaking issue"

I would replace them all with OEM parts.

I don't get rotors turned anymore. I just replace them.

Usually it shakes the brake pedal if your rotor(s) are warped, if not and they look fine, leave them. gonna see this suspension thing you speak of.

You don't need d/s rotors. Brembo is a good brand of rotor.

If you are tight on cash, you really should double check their claims. Are all four rotors bad and need to be replaced now, all at once.

Check your pads, and see if you have life left. If you do, then do one thing at a time. Some times they are just looking for work.

I will say the best thing for you would be if Patman03 would show you how to do your own brakes.
