Hi everyone -

Just got an eBay win of front brake pads. They are described as being OK for Girling front brakes on 240, 240 turbo. Beck/Arnley p/n 082-0639 for a 1975-1987. Question is: Are these too hard for everyday use? I am not a heavy braker, choosing to stay smooth and attempting not to dissipate the energy I paid for at the gas pump any more than necessary.

Would it be expecially important, more so than with AutoZone soft pads, to have the rotors turned prior to installing the B/A pads?

Thanks for any and all responses.

Bob
