[Ramblin Fever]

Surfer, FWIW, I just purchased a set of Bendix brake pads for our newly acquired, old '85 BMW 325e - 2 door 2.7L inline 6 car.

Bought them from Advanced Auto for $45, pretty THICK little pads, not sure what they would look like for the Rodeo's - but they come with a one time replacement warranty due to wear and/or craftsmanship. We'll be putting them on this weekend, and we'll decide then, if the car needs rotors too - don't think so, but we didn't think it should've needed new plugs/filters either.

Our long-time mechanic is becoming someone we can no longer trust - my parents bought this car from him with the understanding that it had recently been thoroughly inspected and tuned-up. HA - if you call oil black as road tar, and an air filter that's disentigrated a tune-up, then appearently I've been wasting money on my own rigs.

This car will see nothing but stop/go city driving with only 30% highway, so I chose bads that were not the cheapest, but didn't need to be the holy grail either. As the car will probably never truly leave the lights of town, with the exception of going home.
