considering my q goes almost exactly 70,000 miles on it`s front pads,it is time to start thinking of options..... currently has factory pads with new hardware and factory rotors installed last time brakes were done.Rotors are beginning to warp,and am thinking about either trueing them or replacing with powerstop cryogenically frozen rotors-any opinions? also,should I reuse hardware or replace{hardware will be 2.5 yr old and 50,000 miles on it} hate to see hardware kit costs now-65.00$ ? will use factory pads.

Since you get 50k from oem pads safe to say the rest of braking system is lightly stressed so reuse shims after you clean them up.

Be sure to use a good DOT approved caliper grease on the pins after you clean them with brake cleaner. Try not to let any water get in there, or you will have rust.

You can put some anti-squeak on the shims between the pads and the calipers, to eliminate squeak.
