When i got my car I noticed the rear pads were about gone, so I grabbed a new set from the junkyard.
They sat on a shelf 5 more years before it hit metal. I wasn't too worried about the rotors, I think they may have been original, and badly worn, Used a set from my parts car. Drove home and popped it together.

Amazing how long they last if you engine brake a lot.
