Brakepads and rotors

Anyone have hookups? I was quoted $400 and I do not have that kind of money right now.

I have front rotors for a WRX, hardly any miles on them. They are a little rusty. Took them off when I did the drivetrain swap. How soon do you need them? reason I ask is I'm still stuck in AZ. I should be back in Cali in May.

Is that for everything installed? Or just parts?

Why do you need rotors? You shouldn't have to replace them as long as their not warped or anything.

you should be able to pick up some front rotors and pads for super cheap while you save up for an upgrade later. but if the rotors have some meat on them still, get them resurfaced and slap on some decent pads.

Rotors are warped and pretty worn down. I'll check that site thanks. I also found out that my cars like a buttload of oil. As in I changed it 2 months ago and I checked it just now and am below the minimum mark. Just filled it back up though. I think it's because I took off an oil filter adapter that was just sitting on there from the previous owner. Could that have been stopping a leak?

oil filter adapter? you mean a sandwich adapter for oil pressure and oil temp? Our cars do burn a little oil but shouldnt drop that kind of oil so fast. what weight and brand of oil are you using?

thats the sandwich adapter, that was just for gauges, shouldnt be causing a leak or anything if you took it out.
