Is it worth finding a coupe with Brembos?
Long story made short, I'm looking at getting a G35 coupe. Some have the Brembos, and I'm always a fan of having powerful brakes. But the replacement parts are outrageous.
Local dealer wants $633 PER ROTOR. That's just parts, and doesn't include the pad or labor. Basically it's $2800 in parts for a full brake job plus the $400 or so in labor.
Is this just a huge rip, or is it a nightmare to get one of the coupes with the Brembos? Are they really worth it over the non-Brembos? My father's 03 sedan stops pretty well on the stockers. Last thing I want to do is get some outrageous repair bills. Granted I do not put much mileage on my car, but a $3500 brake job? F that.
