I changed my brakes and rotors last week. Any suggestions on what to do with the old rotors? I purchased the new ones via Atlantic British. It seems like a waste to just toss 100 pounds of metal in the trash. :dontknow:

On a side note, if you are changing your brake pad sensors, I'd recommend doing the rear one first. As has been mentioned in numerous other posts, the connector for the front sensor is hidden behind the wheel well plastic and is extremely difficult to see. Doing the rear one first gives you a good sense of how the connector works, thus allowing you to blindly change the front sensor with just your hands.

-Book ends.

-Door weights (hold open a door)

-There has to be some football tailgating game you could make out of the four of them! Maybe lob golf balls or washers at them and try to get 'em in the center. Open up a case a beer and grab some loose hardware from the garage....something will make sense. LOL

Thanks for the suggestions everybody. GreyMatter, your scrap yard idea sounds reasonable. BTW, I had an 89 GLI a while back; it was a great car.
