2006 Highlander New Rotors or Not

[yachtman]

Have a 2006 2wd with 45K.

Got free Raybestos front and rear pads and front Rotors. The black box Advanced Technology good stuff.

Question: The pedal has Zero pulsation so should I use the new rotors when I change the pads or Just save em?

Also just picked up Mich LTX MS at Costco, $80 instant rebate $622 out the door.

Thanks for the help!

I would get the original rotors turned, and save the new ones. That's assuming you'll keep the car long enough to use them. If you're just going to sell it, nobody who buys it will be interested in the rotors (I guess you could sell them...) so you might as well use them now.

I'm pretty cheap, though, and it was pretty close in my mind. If you don't have time to have them turned, use the new ones.

The Checker Auto by me turns them for free, and does a good job.

Putting new pads on old unturned rotors will shorten the life of your new pads as they will wear quickly to take the shape of the old rotor. In addition, your stopping ability will be slightly diminished till they achive 100% contact.

I'd either have them turned or put the new ones on.

If yu have both new pads AND rotors just change out both. yu will have like-new brakes again.The pads will bed -in properly to the new rotors. The pads will last longer...

It's a no brainer. No reason to do it any other way!!
