need opinions on brakes

IMO & especially with AWD a proper set of 1G Brakes work pretty darn well - Even ABS is a waste & a hassle IMO - Personally I'd upgrade elsewhere or just bank that money (that you already said you don't have) & make sure your existing Booster & existing Master Cylinder & Wheel Cylinders are up to par - Save $$ for the next REAL "crisis".
 
LOL well the thing is my front brakes are mettle to mettle, and rear rotors are all rusty. I just got oem rear calipers loaded. i mean i need brakes, but you got a point and master is all good lines all that, everything else is all good.
 
There's rust on a brand new Rotor on a 3G at the Dealership - Get some new Front Rotors, I probably would have rebuilt ALL the Calipers & saved a few bucks - You could return them & get 4 Wheel Cylinder Kits & 2 Front Rotors & almost break even - Do a helluva Dot 3 Flush & Bleed - CHECK your Front Axles AND your Steady / Carrier Bearing on the Driver's side mounted to rear of Block while you are "in there" so you aren't tearing it all down again next week~! - THAT's where this job can "grow" money wise - A buddy with 4 jackstands would come in REAL handy about now - There should be a good Tech Articles on all this somewhere & Good Luck
 
Sorry i diddent describe the rust. The calipers were seized, it was ran with the rear pads ran all the way down and got all messed up. And one of the pads got worn down so bad that the meterial wasent even their. Anyway i was just curious what people thought of the rotors. I do appriciate the info you gave me though you did help out.
