New Brakes and Rotor Time. Need Some Help.

[Kip2MyLou]

for 600 you could just do a upgrade on everything. Check out KNS brakes, I got stoptech rotors, ss lines, hawk 5.0 and hps pads for I think around 500

Might look to upgrade next time but I really just want to get them done asap. And they can have the parts and everything done on Monday. So for 600 bucks I'm not complaining at all. Better than 900.

Tascs Parts sells OEM parts and they have the best prices.
Call 800-598-1484 and ask for Steve Powell.

Here are all the parts.

I used my VIN. (2014)
You should start at their home page and enter your car's info.

All four rotors plus front and rear pads should be less than $300.00.

Thanks Dave. Already spoke to Steve yesterday and he sent me an invoice. With prices he quoted me at (which were great by the way) plus the labor I got from my mechanic, who is also low in cost, it came out to nearly $550. So for a few bucks more I can have it done Monday with no wait. That's what I've decided on. But definitely going that route next time. Appreciate all the help guys.

After reading about so many who have had their rear pads wear out so quickly, I made it a habit to hit the ESC button every time I get into the the car. It seems especially important in the wet, when the car (or my driving?!) makes it more likely that stability control will "interfere". I'm at 30,000 miles and still have plenty of pad remaining. But then I also have the mountune (street) pads and hoses in my possession ready and waiting.

I went with Tasca Parts as well. For the same reasons. I talked to my local dealer, who was super helpful, but still didn't have as good of pricing as Tasca. I replaced OEM pads and rotors with OEM pads and rotors at 21,000mi.

I learned two things:

1.) How to replace pads and rotors myself.
2.) I didn't need to replace the pads and rotors as soon as I thought.

I'll definitely go this route next time. This time was kinda time sensitive since they were pretty bad already, so I just wanted to get them ordered and done asap. But I would definitely like to learn how to do pads and rotors at some point. Tasca also did give me a great invoice price for everything. Just more convenient at the moment to get them done for a little more at a dealership.

I think it has alot to do with just different people's driving styles and where the car is driven. I have 48k on mine an its time to do pads in fact im gonna do both pads an rotors. The rears for sure wear faster than the fronts.
