Rich? Hardly an expensive purchase as brake kits go. The MINI kits are a bargain!

When do I know if I need to change the brake sensors? Would anyone recommend changing just the front/rear pads without changing the rotors?

I just put on a slotted and drilled set for front and back. Took like an hour. Used he stock pads for now. Stops on a dime with change left over lol.

I would throw away the useless stock pads when changing out rotors, the pads dust the wheels black after 2 miles and are too "grabby" to modulate well. EBC Greens or believe it or not, Advance Auto ceramometallics are very good and not very expensive. Im going to do Goodridge lines soon, prob in the spring.
