Pfft only time you need brake pads is when the rivets start showing j/k dont be cheap 25 dollars a pair now or resurface your rotors later think about it

You got nothing on my old pads. The rotors had deep *** grooves and the pads were past the rivets.

Are you at least going to surface the rotors? Are you just putting the entire thing back together how it is?

i've seen bad, my cousin had a old 92ish v6 ohc taurus with 4 wheel disc's and abs and they tried finding out why the ABS light kept coming on. Turns out they NEVER within the 2-3 years they had never changed the pads in the rear(this is with over 200k miles) the rotor was completely fucked up but then again you can always call the grooves slotting that cools better
