2007 Type S front brake pads
Hi. I need to replace the front brake pads on my 2007 type S. The dealership told me that the brake pads for a type s are twice as much as the regular TL. i was going to take it to a place like Midas to save some money, but they said that the brake pads would only be $180 vs. the $350 the dealership told me. Is Midas using the wrong ones or is the dealership just charging a lot? The $350 did not include rotors. Thanks for your help...I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff!

The front pads MSRP at a bit over $200 so the dealer price most likely included installation. I can't say what the Midas deal was but there are plenty of alternative non-oem pads that more than fit the bill for a lot cheaper. I believe a lot of people on here run the Cmax pads from Autozone that are about $65.00.
You can prolly purchase the pads and then have Midas install them.

Many alternatives when it comes to pads as you can get new pads as low as :
CENTRIC Part # 10210010 C-TEK Standard Metallic
Brembo Front Caliper; Front $16.70
Dozens priced between the low and the dealer price, just depending on what you need and want to spend as they are easily installed.

+1 for CMAX. Installed em myself and I'm not that technically savvy. Brembo calipers make it a cakewalk.
CMAXes lack the initial bite, but for a daily it doesnt matter. Brake as often as you want and you'll get free pads for life after the first purchase if you keep your receipt.
