[Miata] Re: Prioritizing Winter Upgrades & Maintenance

[Dillon]

It's been suggested that I should replace the rotors as well.  I thought it
was ok to simply clean the rotors before swapping pads.  I imagine track
drivers do this as they switch from street to track pads before an event.
Any thoughts?

Also, I keep reading/hearing about rotors for less than $20 each.  I'm
looking at Autozone and Napa and the fronts are $30-60.  Only the rears can
be found for <$20.

If I decide to get rotors, are cheap rotors ok?
