Question About Brakes
I'm driving home to vistit this next week and the total milage is 2200 miles. My new drilled rotors and brake pads won't be here by then. I need new brakes bad too. So my question is if I just buy some cheap *** pads for $25.00 I would think that would get me through the trip? My new rotors and pads will be in by the time I return, so I will be able to change them right away. I won't be turning the rotors or anything, just new pads. Is there a problem with doing that? Thanks for the info.

you can pad slap em, after you put them on go out and do some 60-0s untill the brakes fade and stink may smoke too. That will reduce the galzing and seat the pads well enough for what your doing. It will severly hamper pad life due to the "improper" break in but hell if their only temp you never know the diffrence
