You're kidding? There are some out there that need rebuilding? So much for reliability!

You'll be needing a set of these to replace the old worn rotors...

not sure if its such an easy DIY operation , if the tips have come out , its housing replacement time and not cheap .

Is that an upgrade from the chocolate oem ones?

Yes... these have added calcium and they go like stink!
