Rusty sells 'em separately, but I think the dealer will too...the underlying question is if you are having him do the pads, why does he insist on doing the rotor also. The only time you **have** to change rotors is when they wear down to less than minimum thickness and can't be turned. I suppose they should be turned every time you do the pads, but I generally don't.
Sounds like a money robbing exercise to me....

Friends, why does MB sell the pads and rotors together- is it a good thing to do these together? I was going to have the dealer do brake pads and he only does them together. Is this a money robbing exercise or is there some merit to changing both at the same time? John Peterson 1991 300D 2.5 84k Kingston, RI
