how much do you pay to have new front brake pads?
I need 2 new front brake pads and my rotors resurfaced.
Acura wants ~$320.00, is that a reasonable price. It has been so long since I paid for this type of job. This would be my first pair of pads on a 03 cls with 48000 miles.

I don't know but I'll sell you my whole front brake assembly for 300 bucks if you want. I have rotors pads, calipers and lines. All less than 5k miles on them.

i know acura charges around 270 to get rotors resurfaced.... its much cheaper to just buy a new set of aftermarker rotors, which will be even better than your stockies..
-Rotora
-Powerslots
I have powerslots and them bitches grip... and I got those and some Axxis Ultimates for under $300

I just went to Acura dealer in VA for my oil change and service B.
I told them to check my brake just in case and I asked for the quote.
They quoted the brake pad replacement which include resurfacing the roters for $320 for front AND back.
I think $320 for only front is rediculai! They are ripping you off, be careful.

The mechanic I took my car to said "most aftermarket breaks squeak...I recommend the stock ones for all my customers, even if they are a bit more expensive." That doesn't sound right to me...
