Default Brake discs and pads

A quick question for my cousin, he has a 2002 KJ V6 and wants to know are the brake rotors and pads the same all the way thru to 2004 or not?

Thanx in advance.

G'day... I went onto the bendix website and found mine. I had a cheaper EBC put on mine and it lasted two days, some guys here have EBC greenstuff which is better then the EBC I had on mine, as to rotors I have no idea I'm asumming they would be.... sorry not much help but try the RDA website

I have just finished changing all the rotors and pads on mine and as far as I can tell they are all the same for the rotors but i beleive that there are some
differences in the pads. Also as 02KJ posted, 2002 models normally have drum rear. I got all of the parts from Autopro for $573. Nothing special but seem to be doing the job, I now have better pedal feel than before and is starting to pull up quick, still bedding in. I did have a strange prob with rear
not sure if I have corrected it, but they seem to be grabbing/sticking after they get hot, it may have something to do with piston being extended out for so long.

Thanks Ross, mine has always had that issue, the problem I have now is that
the calipers are continuing to stay clamped when they warm up. It no longer makes any noises, just has a pile of smoke come from the pads when we pull up. I stripped them off again today and cleaned everything, got Suz to work the brakes and found they released everytime. Needs another long drive to see what happens.
