NSR AJ 11-07-2008, 02:39 AM exact same thing as the e36. -your only changing pads right? -if your sensor brake sensor light went off on the cluster then you will need a new sensor. -are you changing front, rear, or both? hitek510 11-07-2008, 03:05 AM exact same thing as the e36. -your only changing pads right? -if your sensor brake sensor light went off on the cluster then you will need a new sensor. -are you changing front, rear, or both? yeah the brake sensor light is on on my cluster. I have pads and sensors. I'm not sure if I need new rotors? Since I got Front and Rear pads and sensors, might as well change both I guess...

Since I got Front and Rear pads and sensors, might as well change both I guess... Are your rotors smooth (flat) if they're worn in, it might be a good idea to replace the rotors as well. If you're just doing the pads/sensors, it's probably less than an hour's work. Rotors will take some more effort. hitek510 11-07-2008, 01:56 PM yeah i just bought some brand new front brake rotors so might as well do it! Jrdeamicis 11-07-2008, 03:58 PM I told you that you could come do it at my place... Are your rotors smooth (flat) if they're worn in, it might be a good idea to replace the rotors as well. If you're just doing the pads/sensors, it's probably less than an hour's work. Rotors will take some more effort. Maybe 5 minutes more per axel.
