Still need to decide on the pads though, ACT or EUR
Are you planning any trips in the near future? I see your in Jackson - I'm not to far away. I'd be down for some Pine Barren runs. Let's just stay away from the heavy brush, If possible. Last time I was there I got a wicked set of tree limb pinstripes.

The EUR is what is supposed to be used on our Rovers based on a conversation with the Akebono customer service rep that I had nearly 3 years ago before installing them on my DBA rotors.
Don't to use their sound deadening material and do a full 2 quart DOT 4 brake flush afterwards.
