Re: '01 Sonata: Brakes and Rotors
 
No way will I ever replace rotors unless they are absolutely necessary.
Resurfacing them yes, unless they are very smooth.
Pads yes, original always!

EVERytime I have gone there for an estimate, it never fails that they always
find them under the manufactures specs! &^%&^%$!!! yeah, right.. :)

IMHO..
