thanks for everyones responses, good thing i posted here!
I'll double check what is included but I'm pretty sure its just brakes and rotors. He wrote the details on a sheet which is in my car, i'll take a picture of it and upload it when I get home tonight.
Are these Brembo brakes or will these be the regular ones?
The guy was telling me how these brakes are used on Porsche Carrera GTs and are really high performance.. thats why their so expensive.
Edit: Also I am located in Canada (Vancouver), so I may not be able to get US prices which Im assuming are cheaper.

Lol im sorry but whoever you service writer is, they are trying to take advantage of you. Yeah Brembo's are a great product but the same Calipers you have on yours they would never use on a Carrera GT....
Buy the rotors and get some Hawk HPS pads $400 the most in parts and either follow a DIY on how to change your brakes or take it to a local mechanic.

Looking good!
I guess if the package was valued at $450 and change, UPS charged you $51.20 for brokerage and ~$50 for HST?
Forgot what else they charged but that should be in the ballpark....

thanks again man
yep, i actually really like the slotted look. Gives it an exotic car look.
Thanks!
I did quite a bit of research and didn't find anything concerning that. I guess only time will tell.
Heres another pic from a bit far away. Looks much nicer in the sun. I dont know if its just me but i've noticed more people checking out my wheels at red lights. Im guessing their looking at the brakes since they shine quite nicely right now.
Unfotunately I dont have pro cam to capture the true look of it.
