And to all the people I am not getting it done there, I just asked for a quote to do a brake job on my Brembos while I was there! Also for the aftermarket part, he told me that aftermarket brembo stuff doesnt fit right and squeeks. Haha I just thought it was funny that they quote that price!

Wow, what a huge manufacturer mistake to make a stocker set up by Brembo. That is a crap load of money! Glad your not going to spend that much bread!

like someone mentioned, buy your rotors and pads online for way less and and find some reputable shop to install them for you if are worried about liablity. i'm pretty sure it can be done for less than a grand with your parts included.

You should have asked him if that raping comes with lube or if lube is extra...

I had the exact same experience. I nearly laughed my *** off and I think I even pointed at the guy and asked him

...are you simple...do I LOOK SIMPLE

Anyway, I quickly went on driver and did a search and found a video from a guy who did his own Brembo brakes. That was 2004 and I havent looked back since.

The Brembos are by far, the easiest brake system I have ever worked on. I can replace the rotors and pads in about 1 hour once I have the car on jack stands. It literally only takes a pair of pliers, a screwdriver and a C clamp to replace the pads - and maybe 2 beers.

DIY, become knowledgable, keep your money and stick it to the dealer.
