Smile So $1500 for new brakes and rotos in the front F that! Fellow owners enlighten me!

OK so I just got a call from my dealer telling me that I need new front brakes and rotors, my car has about 58,500 miles on it. He quoted me around $1500 just for the fronts because they're brembo.FVCK THAT! Now I like my brembos nothing wrong with them just they dust ALOT. He said im down to 2mm so they need-a-changin! My rear ones he said are still good so i dont really care about those.
Now my question is should where and what the Fvck should I buy, i mean i never race or anything like that so i dont need a hardcore set or anything, but i would like to hear recommendations since i've never had any experience with this. I bought my G when it had 48k miles. Also if anybody in San Diego, Chula Vista and surrounding cities close by know of a good place to get them done let me know. thanks again.

Ed

You can get aftermarket Slotted or Drilled Brembo's for the fronts for $330 shipped and brake pads for about $100 for the front pair. Install shouldn't be more than $300 at any good shop.

checkout stoptech's stage 2 upgrade. It's $800 retail and includes 4 rotors, pads, lines and fluid. if your front rotors and pads need changing, then your rears probably aren't too far behind. might as well swap them all around and take care of it in one shot

The dealer quoted me $1200 for just the fronts to be replaced..this was at 45,000 miles.
I paid $900 for (all 4) Brembo slotted rotors and Project MU pads.

endless = brand...BBK = big brake kit

don't forget to check the marketplace under vendor classified/brakes...members of g35driver usually get a discounted price compared to their website price...
