Super dodge! lol

Rule of thumb is always to change pads when changing rotors. I also flush brake fluid with rotors.

$75 but with the rotors i ordered tierod ends,gaskets,timing belt kit and radiator cap. $75 postage for the lot not sure how much for disks alone

Just got a quote back from Camskill, 90GBP shipping for just the front rotors, and 110GBP shipping for front and rears.

Are you sure they just charged you $75? Because the shipping price when you checkout is only for up to 5kg's, they should email you after the purchase to tell you they will charge more for the extra weight.

Another one that's often overlooked is to sand the rust and crap off the hub surface when changing the rotors, so that the rotor has a perfectly flat surface to mate to. Otherwise you can get DTV (Disc Thickness Variation) and uneven wear on a brand new rotor simply because it isn't sitting flat.

Why would I bs about any of that idiot

I didn't even check what was taken from my account but that's what the invoice reads and is what it said when I checked out , plus why would I pay more for postage then what I pay for the rotors? It would be cheaper to get a pair off eBay at that price.

I actually cleaned,sanded, wire brushed everything in that area and behind. I'm going to get some new pads today, just to be safe
Thanks guys

I would suggest you actually check your account because what Camskill do is charge you (and give you an invoice) the amount with 50GBP shipping. Then afterwards they review your order and charge you the additional shipping fees.
