My car is at the shop and by brakes squeak like crazy. The guy is telling me I need new rotors and pads because the rotors are below the discard spec at 817 on the fronts. I think he is just trying to get me to spend more money. Does this sound right? He wants to charge $870

No way! Unless your getting some crazy 2 piece shit.

i have stock everything, should I just have them put on new pads and call it a day, if I have a problem after that than I'll go back

You can get a nice new set of Racing Brake rotors for around $400. OEM rotors should cost nowhere near that.

thanks, i'm just going to pick my car up and go somewhere else/order online/do it myself. Thanks for the quick answers

Run from that shop. $870 to replace front brakes & rotors is outrageous.

You can get good pads, rotors and lines for less than that.

what a coincidence, i just finished doing my brake pads last night, pretty darn simple. i'm probably going to finish doing brake lines and probably rotors, racing brake has 1 piece slotted for about 460 i think for front a rear.

I just changed all 4 pads (well, still need to change the 4th one :D) for a total of $156 (parts) + $10 (shipping) + $15 (tools). I got the HAWK ceramic pads. The price difference sounds way too much just to get the new rotors.

I bought four racing brake rotors, stainless lines, hawk ceramic pads and shipping to Canada for Canadian $850... (add a plug for fluidmotorsports)
