its a LOT different doing them on a 4th gen then doing them on a 3rd gen.

the 4th gens have non servicable wheel bearings as opposed to the 3rd gens which have packable ones that sit inside the rotor.

you doing rotors and pads? front and rear? i can give ya the quick rundown of how to do them on here. if ya let me know which you are doing. brakes really arent that hard.

you should probably save up and do the rotors too. Ive never been a fan of pad slapping cars unless the rotors are damn clean and smooth.

Dont cheap out on brakes. If you cant afford good rotors, and your current ones are decent, just get the pads for now. I've seen cheap china made rotors have studs break and thats no fun.

Don't wait to do everything over again. The sooner the better.

The WS6 store has a set of drilled slotted rotors for like 169 or something. They are pretty popular I guess to many on ls1tech, and I haven't heard a lot of bad stories about them. Maybe one or two, and one of those guys was using them for track which is stupid dumb stupid.

If you get them, just keep your eye on the holes to make sure it's not cracking.

I'd never do drilled or slotted myself
