Dealer pads?

Fema, there is much debate on OEM parts. To me, you can get better brake pads after-market and save money. I swithched to Mintex which produce little dust and stop the same or better. On the rotors, you can't just assume they're good by looking at them. They "look" good far beyond the minimum thickness required. They are meant to wear just like the pads. They are not too expensive either. You might get the rotors through two sets of pads but its not recommended.
There are some additional "cautions" when working on brakes with ABS, but essentially its the same process. You could search the site for detailed brake instructions.
