Hi all...

I'm planning on replacing the front rotors this weekend, and was reading up in the Chilton's manual about it. Chilton's says to replace the brake caliper mounting bolts anytime you take the caliper off, as they are designed to be stressed only once.

I didn't see the caliper bolts listed on FCPgroton's website, where the rotors are coming from. I'm also hesistant to skimp on this, as these secure the brake calipers to the rest of the car. Anyone know of a source to get the bolts, or should I just head over to the dealer?

If you have experience with this, am I just being paranoid about replacing the bolts? or has your experience been that replacing them isn't really necessary.

thanks for any advice,
