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

 

Get out of that dealership asap!! They don't know what they are talking about!!

 

^1+

that dealership is trying to rip you off.

New brakes and rotors from R1 Concepts for your Brembos shouldn't cost you more than $350

 

LOL.... $3600, that's hilarious.

Buy the pads and rotors yourself and bring them to a local mechanic. You'll spend probably $650-800 on parts and maybe $120 on installation. Brakes on our cars are retarded easy to do.

You may not even need new rotors either. Dealerships always just replace them because they make bank on selling/raping you new parts at a super-premium price.

 

That's crazy...Thats like a 5th of the value of the car.

even $800 is too much, I got rotors and pads from R1 Concepts for my Brembos last yr for something like $275 plus tax

 

So for pads and rotors they want $3600?? Or is that all new calipers also??

 

here you go OP, these are the rotors you need

call R1 Concepts and tell them to add some pads to your order

 

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.

 

Haha Yeah but there are different size brembos.. G35 ones aren't that impressive..

 

thanks! Are these the same ones as OEM or are these aftermarket?

apologies for the questions, i have no idea about this kind of stuff

 

Porsche Carrera GT rotors???? that technician is smoking some serious crack

1) G35s do not use the same brakes as the Carrera GT
2) Carrera GT brakes are much much much more expensive than $3600

 

They are after market but are really good rotors, many members here, include myself, have been running those rotors

They are actually made from Centric blanks which are the same rotors as Stop tech and many other high end brake companies

 

hmm you never know, maybe dealership is replacing him with 6pot brembos
