Anyone pad slapped? I’m at 16K, slight ridge but minimal wear on rotors. So tired of the dust and noise.
I’m fully prepared to go full floating, full exchange but wondering if I’ll make a mess if I throw on some Powerstops.
Obviously it’s a short term solution to my long term problem.
Most interested in downside of slap.
Cheers!

Thanks for everyones responses.
I bought my car 10 months ago and put on about 3K miles. The pads were changed out during the CPO process but they did not change the rotors. They have groves and a lip (car has 30K miles) but if it was good enough for CPO to slap pads on then its good enough for me. I too believe you can get multiple sets of pads per rotor.
Do you have to change the wear sensors or if they haven't gone off yet are the sensors still OK?

Pad wear sensor is a pad wear sensor. They are all the same, designed to trip a light when the rotor grounds out the lead in the sensor, nothing special about them. I just buy the cheapest brand name ones they have on Rock Auto.
