some people go to Midas

and pay $99.99 for lifetime brakes.

I pay hundreds every year. It was especially costlier this year because the rotors needed to be replaced. This is what $665 and 1.5 months of waiting time will get you. The pads need replacing about once a year and the rotors about once every 2 years. But it is worth every penny because they will stop on a dime and you never have to worry about warping.



I went with slotted only in the front this time for several reasons.

1. Reduced risk of cracking at the holes as on drilled rotors
2. More braking surface
3. Slots vent just fine; holes are not absolutely necessary
4. They look bigger sitting behind the wheels

Old ones are on the car. I need to put these on, probably next weekend. I just got back from a long trip and jet lag is kicking my ass.

I got them trough Excelerate; in the boxes are Rotora oversize BBK rotors for the front (left) and factory size rotors for the rear (right) along with BBK pads and Hawk ceramic pads.
