Angry The dealer had their best attempt to bend me over :(

They wanted to get $164 for each front OE rotor, $181 for each rear, and $101 for front pads and $101 for rear pads. A nice total of $892 for all 4 corners of brakes

I am now going to go with either Baer Decela ($286/pr), EBC Ultimax slotted ($154/pr), Brembo Sport drilled ($273/pr), or Power Slot ($190/pr) for the rotors and then Hawk HPS for the pads.

My question to you all is this: Which rotors do I go with?? I save money as compared to the dealer either way I go.


Thanks ahead of time

I'd say go with some decent quality pads and plain rotors from Napa, and save your money. Don't you read the news? We're all gonna be broke soon.

agreed

but if you really wanted some "sexy" rotors...i'd go slotted. drilled are well known to have cracking issues
