Default Time For Some New Brakes

During my last tire rotation I noticed the wear sensor on my front brake pads were getting real close to the rotor, so time for new brakes was nearing fast. While I am at it I figured I'd upgrade a bit so I picked up some new rotors. I'm also going to rebuild the calipers (I'll paint them and the brackets while off car) and install new hardware. New hoses weren't in the budget, but they'll (all) be replaced with braided stainless PTFE hoses in the very near future.

Thanks! A lot of the rotors I looked at only had either a 90 day or 1 year warranty against cracking and warpage. These came with a 3 year warranty.
