I plan to replace brake pads soon and want to know if I should also replace the rotors? Do you recommend I do so, is it worth the money to purchase ventilated rotors or simply purchase OEM pads and rotors? The OE - TRW pads have done fantastic with 64,000 miles with 25% remaining in the fronts and 50% in the rears. Rotors are smooth with no colors due to overheating.

My second question, I am scheduled to replace plugs do you recommend I also replace coil packs? Given the milage 64,000.

Yes, use oem rotors, pads and sensors.

Yes, I would replace plugs and coils together.
