    is it worth it?

    is this worth buying at all i need to replace my front pads but i figured i might as well look at replacing the rotors and this looks like a good price for all four.

    $150 shipped for four rotors for a V6 is a pretty darn good price. As easy as the rotors are to swap, it couldn't hurt. especially since you have 80,000 miles on the original rotors.

    yea i just changed my brake pads n rotors and the caliper was fine before I did the swap, now I need a remanufactured one and it leaked brake fluid all over my wheel, ruining the finish. double whammy

    You will get what you pay for, that's for sure. These are your brakes and I think you should go with a name brand or stock at least. That's just me though.

    Try www.rockauto.com Also, the rear can wait a little but I would definitely replace the front rotors at least for now and then when you have more cash, get the rear done. Thats my best advice.

    The rear does not wear down as fast as the front, the rear doesn't help too much in stoping the car, the front does.

    That's out of context. What I said was as long as you're replacing pads, the rotors are easy to swap and it couldn't hurt to do so. The OP didn't indicate he was having any problems with his brakes, or my answer would have been more direct, like change your rotors and pads before you kill someone!
