Good evening,

I would replace them all together as the tires will be off when the brake work will be done.

Brakes would be my first choice if I had to choose.

Hello,

Well, what's worn down the most. You need both of these systems to have a car run. You can work from the inside out or the outside in. If it was me, I would replace the pads and rotors first. Being able to stop is a very important thing. I will not drive or get in a car that doesn't have working brakes or working steering. These are two systems that need to be in pristine condition before a car should be driven. Please get back to us with what you decide to do. If you need instructions on how to replace anything, please feel free to ask. It's why we are here.

Thanks,
Alex
