'05 TL: Need advice on Brake Rotors & Pads

Hey Guys,

My brake rotors are warped pretty bad. They are OEMs and have been machined at least twice. I'm ready to replace all 4 rotors and pads.

For OEM Rotors and pads, it's going to run me about $500 for parts and another $200 for labor. I'm thinking about installing them myself but I'm not sure how. If you have instructions, please point me to them.

So far, I've looked at the Brembo Rotors found at Tirerack (see link)
http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/resul...c+Transmission
Front: 25548 OR 65548
Rear:25835

Are these equal or better than the OEMs? They cost a bunch less and I'm curious to see if they will last as long or longer than the OEMs. Also are they susceptible to warping as much as the OEMs are?

Lastly, I don't know what pads to get. I could not find Brembo pads for these rotors, can you guys recommend some? Performance is not my main focus; quiet, smooth stopping is.

This is my first post; thanks in advance for your advice!!!

I searched for the specific Brembo rotors I'm looking at but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for the links; I'll look over the guide on replacing the rotors/pads

Also, the 2nd link you sent me for the Brembo rotors on the TL-S; aren't the rotors on the TL-S larger than the stock TL?

Thanks,
Paul
