from the dealership, they said my brakes, rotors are shot and need to be replaced ASAP
quoted me $3600 including some thing that you put in the brakes to reduce screeching noise my question is, what are my alternatives? i dont want to pay $3600. Asked the guy if I could get non-brembo brakes and he said the specifications are different and only Brembo brakes can be installed on the car. (Can someone confirm this?)
these are for a 2004 coupe, Brembo brakes

My stop tech have been turned 3 times already and lasted me for about 100k miles.
Still lasting I should say.

I have the R1 Concept brakes in mind now. I am about to call them now.
I don't think I need new callipers. Only rotors and pads. The garage I usually go to will charge me $85/hour for installation and they said it will take 2-3 hours. I will double check the price of the brakes/rotors now and let you guys know just incase they try to rip me off as well.
Also it says on the paper i got from the dealership that i need to replace BRAKE SHIMS and BRAK PLOIDS. Does anyone know if these are necessary and If i should purchase these as well?
Thanks for everyones response.

Last thing, CZP from the vendor section also look good and they cost $700 plus shipping to Canada and $85/hour labor. Does this seem like a good price to you guys? Apologies for the noob questions
EDIT: Just called R1 concepts: the total price for 4 rotors (ELINE) + 4 Pads + shipping to Canada = $410. Does this price sound good to you guys? So total price with labour (approx 3 hours) will be $665. Thoughts?

If you're close to the border, you can have the package shipped to a packing holding company. This way you can take advantage of free shipping within Cont US. Not sure what company is out there for the west coast tho (assuming you're from Vancouver from your name...)
