^ I good bit of savings. I found a Raybestos site with ceramics for about $10 bucks cheaper. Given the mileage of the car (162K), as long as I find some decent ceramic replacement pads, I'm shooting that way.

I just can't believe OEMs for the front are twice as expensive as the rear.

It's because if you believe the dealers, they are really Brembos.

Go to placeforbrakes.com and look up akebonos. 57 front, 41 rear, no tax free ship. Pro act ceramics.

Amazon sometimes has them cheaper.

No offense to the sponsors but this is definitely not a dealer purchase, someone had a set in the classifieds a while back.
