Fancy. Did you have to replace anything immediately after adjusting the rear or were the front pads/rotors still maintained?

No, still have plenty left of the pads and rotors. Cleaning up the rotors was all that was needed.

Brakes

The NAPA Ultra Premium line of brakes are the same units made by Raybestos called Advanced Technology. If you go on Rockauto.com, you can get the rotors for like $40.00 each and the pads for $37. This is way cheaper than the NAPA price for the exact same parts. NAPA just re-brands, they don't make anything. Thier struts and shocks are Monroe Sensatracks for example.

^ Rock Auto's a good place to get lots of stuff. There are also 5% discount coupons floating around the net (Google Rock Auto coupon) that you can use, too. Usually, the 5% is less than the shipping fee, but anything helps.
