Hello all. Friend of mine is going to replace his pads and rotors, he has OEM on for now. He said that shop estimated parts + labour just a little over $1000.00

Is it a normal price for parts + labour??? (Hawk pads and cross drilled & slotted Msport rotor)


I'm thinking of getting new pads as well.
Thinking of getting those Hawk pads. Do you think I need to get those cross drilled rotors for these pads? Or can I still ride on my OEM rotors???

Could you also comment on $1000.00 work, recommend any reliable shops???

Thanks guys.

 

If he paid that he's just been had.

 

nooo way it should be that expensive ....

it cost me 600 to replace all front/rear rotors and pads..

with DBA slotted rotors and hawk pads ...

 

if he's at the stealership i can believe $1k. but that's because they tend to hose people. if he goes to a reputable independent and/or buys his own parts the job will be much cheaper. $5-600.

 

Is he Brembo or Non Brembo?

The dealership quoted me $4300 for a Brembo brake job... no seriously Im not joking.

 

Can you guys point out towards a reputable independent shop in Toronto and surroundings.

And again, what do you all think of having Hawks on OEM rotors??

Thanks

 

Order the parts from http://www.88rotors.com/ then install them yourself or find a shop to just install.

I know a few in Sauga if hes on this side.

Vic Simone is well known on this board!!!!

 

Just got off the phone with Vic, he quoted me $1200 for pads and rotors

How about this set up from this seller"? how is it, what do u think??

i just dont feel like spending 1k on something that doesnt feel to cost that much.

Labour, one hour on front and 2 hours on back??? ........C'mon

There is gotta be more reasonable price.

sash,

We need some more info about the cars, specifically the brakes that are currently on the vehicle.

Are they Brembo's?

 

I dont think so, the link posted was for both G35 and G35X non Brembos...

I can do a full brake job on a Brembo coupe in 40 minutes! What amazing brakes!!!!!

 

ya i got all my stuff off of a guy on here, for hawk pads and Stoptech slotted rotors it cost me around $5-600, install is VERY easy!

 

Sorry forgot to mention my specs

It's 2005 g35x.

So what do u think i should do:

get OEM parts from Dave that sells them for cheap
get those ones from ebay
or pay $1k.....which just sounds tooooo much


Thanks

 

you could try looking into ordering your rotors and pads
from vendors in this forum then taking them to your local mechanic to be installed ..

my mechanic charged me 75 bucks to install .. pads n rotors all around
