there is nothing tricky about changing rotors on your car. just make sure you open the bleeder valve when you colapse the caliper. (one at a time) don't let air into the system ! hold the pressure on the caliper and tighten the bleeder BEFOR you release the caliper. as for rotor prices..........basically you get what you pay for ! use the middle of the road price and you useually can't go wrong. Why do you need to change the rotors? that usually means there is a nother problem!

For the most part I have not seen a significant difference in brand and/or quality of brake rotors when it comes to the durability of the metal itself. The difference in price comes from certain rotors being directional and are specific to which side of the car that they are made for. Also, the specific part depends on whether the car is equipped with an ABS. In this case the rotor would have teeth on the inside of the hub in order for the sensor to detect the speed of the wheel.

A ninety 5 Caprice is a superb journey. If that is in sturdy project, I'de keep it and keep your money til you have sufficient to purchase what you quite need. Now, and embarassing motor vehicle could be like a gremlin, or some old eighty's oldsmobile, however the Caprice is a superb motor vehicle.
