Fair price for new rotors on 04 tl with brembo brakes ?

I'm being quoted almost 500.00 to replace the rotors on my car. Seems like a lot to me...does this seem about right ? I have over 100k and have not had them replaced before.
Thanks in advance...

How 'bout $192.58 including shipping for the pair? Not including installation of course.

Are you running these rotors on your setup? If so, how do you like them? What pads are you using with the r1 rotors?

I ran them on my old TSX and they felt as good if not better than OEM. The look is a lot better. I was still running stock on my TL-S when I traded it in. They were recommend to me by another local member, who was also running them on his TSX. I liked them a lot.

sure. In my area in general. 270 labor sounds high to me to replace the rotors.

I did some research on this myself...parts are about 200...labor on it is like 200 (one hour per rotor)...so my quotes a little high but not THAT bad...obviously its cheaper to buy them off the net and do it myself but for a dealer its not terrible.

irotors.com. I got drilled/slotted rotors, front and rear along with pads front and rear for 389 shipped. Just go to a good mechanic or friend you know to put them on. I have a 6MT too. I offered a friend money to put them on but he wanted a 12 pack instead!! WIN!!!

DUDE dont waste the money. Just do it yourself or get the rotors and take it to a local shop.

It should take 30-60mins tops and with the extra money you save get a MOD
