how much u guys paid for brakes job?
wonder how much u guys paid for it? i got quot fm dealer for $330 of putting new pads & machine the rotors both just for the rear. sounds too expensive. the price for the oem pads is about $65 & called strauss auto & they only charged $15 per set for surfaced the rotors which means dealer charge $250 for the labor. CRAZY

The difference is probably because that $15 is for turning them OFF the car while the dealer's price ($250) is for turning them ON the car. The "on-the-car" method is usually preferred.

For an 02 Type-S, if you don't have a lot of miles, then look for the TSB and get it done under warranty. It sounds to me like a premature brake wear thing. Some dealers would even do it under "goodwill" if you keep at them with a TSB printout.
Here is the text of one TSB:
"01-017 Brake Pedal, Steering Wheel, or Vehicle Vibrates While Braking
VEHICLES AFFECTED
1999–03 3.2TL – ALL
2001–03 3.2CL – ALL
SYMPTOM
When the brakes are applied normally, the driver feels
a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal, the
steering wheel shakes, or the vehicle does not have a
smooth, continuous deceleration feeling.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The front and/or rear brake pads have caused a
variation in the brake disc thickness.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Refinish the front brake discs, and install new brake
pads. Test-drive the vehicle and if necessary, refinish
the rear brake discs and install new brake pads."

thanks all for the input. anyway, i just got it done myself. the rotors seems fine to me & therefore i didn't machine it. plus, i didn't feel any vibration nor any sqeak at all. also, i'm not too worried about the rear as it only counts for 20% of braking. so only cost me $65 & 1.5hrs of work.
