So I need to change my front brake pads and I dropped by the dealership and they're asking 175$ for them. I almost flipped, had an Audi before and the pads were 70$.

So he continue to tell me that the pads are 100$ and the locks are 75$... WTH are those locks? I didn't quite understand him? He was saying Japanese cars have locks and they need to be replaced, I really had no clue what he was talking about.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

BTW, 05 Coupe non-brembo.

or get a hold of Tony@RiversideInfiniti or RICK@Riversideinfiniti they might give you even better price.

 

Yeah, thats what I was looking at... There no need for the so called "locks"?

 

I called a local tuner shop, and I'm getting the HAWK pads for less than OEM. Will go with that...

 

I recently bought Hawk HPS pads F/R from a vendor here for under $100 shipped. However, there's really no need for the OP to get these pads and put them on a stock rotor.

Contact some of the vendors on here for a great deal on wither OEM pads or a set of quality ceramics like the Akebonos.
