Default Brembo Blanks..Quick ?

Ok so my brakes need sum help. I already have hawk pads now, but the rotors are OEM and bout 74k miles on them. They are pretty torn up. So hopefully next week I will be ordering New Rotors and stainless brake lines. My question is will the pads be ok with new rotors?? Or will the car ride shitty till the pads wear in to the new rotors?

On a side note. My brake pedal feels a lil spongy and I ******* hate it. And the absinop lite stays on.. ! BTW I already bled the brakes.

So I'll see how she does after new rotors and lines. Then I'm taking her in for that stupid ABSInop Light.

Must be a sensor and I'm thinking the rearend sensor.

Oh well thanx for reading.

The ABS INOP light could be related to a dirty or bad sensor.

New rotors/pads/fluid should improve braking distances and pedal feel.

If it were me, I'd get new pads as well, just to be on the safe side. If your old rotors are in bad shape who knows how grooved up those Hawk pads are. But then again, I'm pretty ****. lol On a side note, I had Brembo blanks w/Hawk and PBR pads from Strano, great stuff!
