I paid $275 or close to that to get my rotors resurfaced and new pads at the dealer.

Its pretty expensive... you could get decent aftermarkets for cheaper if you shop around. I would have done that but I was in a rush and needed the loaner from the dealer.


oh... how many miles on your car? there is a tsb on the rotors... if the car is new enough they might do it for free.

Contact these guys. Ask for Chet. I got front and rear rotors and Axxis Metal master pads for $200 bucks shipped!! The rotors are awesome and stop on a dime. Let me know how it works out.

is it just your fronts that need to be replaced? the backs usually last a long time don't they?

I just had all four rotors changed (rotora slotted) and bought axxis ultimate pads for them. I could not be happier with the setup. Much better than stock by far. Note that the Axxis Ultimates do seem to dust a bit more than stock but the brake dust is black so its not so bad, better than the orange dust from the stock pads. Cost me 430 for the parts and 120 for labor.

You could just upgrade your front rotors and pads. Ultimates (fr) - $ 65 and front rotora rotors for 164 (pair), and a local mechanic should install the fronts for 60 bucks (1 hour labor). So for about the same price you will have a new set of rotors and pads that are far better than stock. I bought the parts from streetbeatcustoms.com.

Good luck let us know what you decide.

anything is better then the factory rotors. go with Irotor. no warp after 30,000+ miles.

Dealer resurfaced my stock rotors under the TSB with 25k on them last week.
What a difference, I will get some aftermarket rotors when it happens again. Or at least I will try to get the dealer to resurfaced them again beofre I do!

SocaliCLS what's the year and mileage of your car?

carquest

take the rotors off & head to a machine shop. should be able to get them turned re-surfaced for around $10 each if they're not too warped.

if they're shot go to a parts store and but new rotors. i suspect that you can get 2 new, OEM quality rotors for a lot less than $240.

I'm a geek, sorry. I must have skipped over this. If the dealer is going to charge
you then get it done somewhere else or even buy new aftermarket ones. It sucks that
that just to turn 4 rotors they are going to charge that much.
