I just read about you replacing your rear rotors....I need to do that myself. I'm searching for a set of rotors to purchase and not sure what rotors are good ones that aren't too expensive. Also, when replacing the rear rotors, do I need to spread the calipers to fit the new thicker rotor...how difficult is this to do?
Thanks,
Steve

If you get new rotors, be sure and hose them down with Brake Cleaner and wipe them off good to get all of the Cosmoline (preservative/rust preventative) off of them before installation. If not, you'll glaze your pads and probably have to start over.
If you've never done a disk brake job before, it's semi easy. If you've done them before, it's a catnap!........
Thanks Threadcutter,
I've done the front rotors on an old Buick but not on a 1995 Lexus LS400. I'm hoping I can just remove the calipers, replace the rotors and slap the calipers back on without bleeding the system or readjusting the calipers!
