Changing brakes and rotors at the same time.

Do they wear at the same time. Can i change brake pads early to save rotors.

It should fee different.

You can change pads a little early but if the pad and rotor materials aren't compatible, rotor wear will be affected. Also, when replacing your pads consider machining your rotors. You should be able to replace the rotors once for every two pad replacements.

For the squeaking try bedding your pads and seasoning rotors. It's a great way to get rid of squeaks and helps with brake performance.
