    I want to put in OEM front brake rotors since I had good life with originals.

    Per Camelback Parts page, the number is 4351204052

    Is this right?

    Somewhere I heard something about a mid yr brake part number change on this vehicle???

    Any validity to this?


    Thanks for all input.

    Just an FYI....

    its interesting how at 117,000 miles the original brake pads AND rotors are Both at their wear limits......lots of highway miles.

    So for those considering the slapping on new pads to existing worn rotors or resurfacing rotors, dont bother. The rotors are likely at limit and should be replaced too.

    Measure rotor thickness.

    Quite unusual for the pads, not so much for the rotors. But it is higher than normal.

    Careful with the 'don't bother'. Do the measuring first. Rotors normally last up to 2x pads for conditions like this. As I said, very unusual. As in I'd have expected pads to have been done around 60k.

    As far as your rotor question. Price Rock Auto and NAPA as well. It's just a slab of iron; doesn't need to come from a dealer. Many spec race teams (ones that are limited to OE type parts) use rotors from both of those sources.

    You may be right, but I did Rock Auto cheapo Rotors for my old Chevy K1500 and those things were warped within 20,000miles......still they were cheap.
