    2006 with 230,000 miles just bought it last week. Noise in front passengers side so I pulled wheel and the router looks like its 15 years old with 230,000 miles. Laid on a true surface and it has a very very slight warp. Normally I would say hell with it and slap it back on but this is a Prius and i am going to make her go forever.

    Was just going to replace the 1 router but came across this kit. What are the experts opinion?

    Prius brake are cheap. Replace the rotor, brake pads and be on your way.

    I wouldn't throw tons of money on this car at 230,000 miles. You should drive it for a month before deciding how many gremlins you want to tackle.

    Turn that rotor or buy new OEM replacements. Never router a rotor.

    Change both rotors and you might as well change the pads as well while you're in there. Never change just one side whether that be the rotors and/or pads. The rotors and pads last forever on a Prius so I change the rotors when I change the pads. I give them a good clean and lube every 2 years.

    "Premium" aftermarket rotors and pads are cheap enough and will work fine. Check Toyota prices online because they might be cost competitive. I would replace both rotors at the same time (and do pads).
