Default Brakes, Rotors & 3 amigos. 01 Discovery

I am going to be doing a brake change to Akebono Euro Ceramic (just ordered on ebay). The rotors was replaced to new ones last time I did the brake (they came from AutoZone), should I get new rotors or get them turned? If I get new rotors what brand is the best? I will also be putting new brake fluid in.

My 3 amigos is on to, got to love that! From what I am reading they have scanners that can tell me whats going on with that. I have a cheap scanner (Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN), I got for my dodge truck but it wont tell me whats going on with the 3 amigos. Does anyone know what scanner I can buy that can help me track down the problem?

Look up EBC rotors. I've heard they perform very well with Akebono ceramic pads and eventually thats the setup Im going for when money premits.

Your rotors are mist likely OK, you can not resurface the rotors so just install your new pads and do a full brake flush of DOT 4, 2 quarts.

Mike,
I have to change my brake pads and I am considering getting the Akebonos (not to be found in Brazil, gotta import them).
My only concern: Do EUR676 and EUR493 fit my D2 2003 TD5? I assume it has nothing to do with engine. OK? So they should fit.
