It was probably the industrial size barrel of K-Y that made it so expensive. Unless they're suggesting that all of your rotors are shot, find another shop. And even if they say the rotors need replacing, I'd be inclined to get a second opinion- if you've never let the pads get down to bare metal, the rotors should be fine. (of course, there was an unscrupulous dealer in my area (no longer in biz), who made a habit of turning rotors down to just shy of min spec on *every brake job* -- then when folks came back for their next brake job, they'd say "oh look, your rotors are thin") Geoff Lynnie Henderson wrote in message <362CA999.E06B3A3Anopsamm.com>... >I have a 92 900S automatic.
