No kidding!? I'm jealous! I won't have time for at least 2 weeks before I can comfortably do my rotors. I will definitely checkout the thread that you provided, but if I can pick your brain a lil---did you remove the pads? Did you NEED to remove the pads if you did remove them? About how much time did it take for you to do one side, after you got the car off the ground?

And do you still have to pump the brakes after installing the new pads/rotors?

Its best to replace them. I had a similar issue with my Infinity q45, and ended up rear-ending someone. Better to afford the cost of replacing then the cost of an accident. My Infinity gave me warning that my recent brake job might not have been done correctly, cause a few times it didn't grab as usual, and the warning light came on a few times. I thought it had to be an error with the warning light, but during heavy stop and go traffic, my sudden need to stop was interrupted by the abs.
