    Best place to get replacement front and back pads and rotors?

    Hi everyone,

    I am looking to replace my brakes for the first time ever. Got the car a couple months back and the brakes are starting to grind and the pedal needs to be pushed in real hard to stop.

    Suggestions on where to get replacmeent pads and rotor are much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Sooo...I finally got around to doing this.

    First off--what is the deal with the pads on there? Do I purchase the 'front pads' only once or do I have to get two? Is that a front set or only for one side?

    And two, what is up with the shipping??? They charge you 13% of the total???? Why is it not by weight like everywhere else?? That's ridiculous.

    Give them a call, they are pretty helpful IIRC. Typically parts are labeled L/R and F/R stuff like that.

    As for shipping, I am thinking that's how they make money. Their cost on parts is some of the best I have seen.

    All good man! Got a good deal here at my local dealer. Stock pads and rotors all around was like 480. The guy was cool though and hooked it up with a discount. 412.

    Great! Surprisingly, most dealerships will match online pricing. You just have to ask.
