Help with brakes
Hey guys I prob need new brake pads and/or rotors soon and got a quote from the dealer for $350 + tax to resurface rotors (just front, rears are $355) and get new pads, or to get new rotors run $143 ea. Would anybody help with the labor for substantially less, maybe a case of beer or a handle and dinner or something? Also, I was looking at a Wilwood 4 piston BBK for the front since it is a pretty good deal. Does anybody know how to install one of those? I don't really track the car right now so that may just be overkill.

1. Don't buy a BBK.
2. Upgrading rotors does nothing.
3. Replace fluid.
4. You can purchase OEM rotors and pads from Hardtopguy.com or aftermarket pads from BrakeSwap.com.
5. I'd be willing to swap rotors/pads all around. Fee and location to be discussed.
Sincerely,

Seems like Mr. Tire, NTB, Midas or someplace like that quoted me either $20/ea. or $40/ea. (can't remember) to turn the rotors. This was last fall or so and I just haven't done it yet. I thought about it when I was moving my spare set of used rotors that are sitting around and was thinking at the time that I should have them turned but never got around to it.

I can get you OEM or generic rotors. The generics are $110/pair and the Premiums are $100 each. I wouldnt bother turning them. Might as well buy the generics for a little more.
I have all kinds of pads depending on what youre lookign to do. If its daily driver type stuff you can get some PBR/Axxis generic pads for like $40 or better Nissen OEM-type for $50. If you want to get "performance" street pads like Hawk HPS or Carbotech Bobcats, I can arrange to get those too, but they are considerably more.

I can get the ATE Rotors for like $70-75 each, they are nothing special, just have a cool wear indicator etched in the rotor. That will save you a little money, but you would have to come pick them up, since I'm sure shipping will be crazy expensive.
