Hi Guys,
Its time to change my car brake pads and rotors. The quotation i got from my dealer is ridiculous.
Brake pads front + rear = $794 without Labour.
Rotors= $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I'm thinking of ordering Textar Brake pads and any good quality rotors. Any suggestions?

 

I just bought OEM front and rear pads for my '06 C4S for $450.00 through an independent shop (Black Forest in San Diego). Shop around.

 

Look at Suncoast, I think they can ship international. The prices are really reasonable...

 

Nothing else than OEM??

 

Sorry, I didn't notice your location when I first replied. I guess that a San Diego, CA, USA shop may not be of interest to you. My sources have indicated that for spirited street driving and occasional track use OEM pads are the best choice. YMMV.

 

What do u think of these?

Seriously, pads and rotors - you will get it done yourself just fine even if you never saw a wrench before.

 

Textar is the OEM supplier. They do make a few different variants of the same pad, so not sure if those are identical to the OEM pads (would have to check part numbers in detail) but they are certainly very close.

In a pinch you can also gets pads and rotors just fine at any normal auto parts shop.

 

I'll send them an email to double check on that. thanks

 

Is the $794 for rotors and pads?

Are you aware of the fact that Suncoast is selling the Front and Rear Pads for around $325? That is less than half the price your dealership asked for.

 

front and rear pads only

 

I Know that, but if I'm going to buy from suncoast the shipping and handling fees + the price of the pads will be close to the 600 range.

 

Would the shipping cost that much? I would ask them just to be sure...

 

There maybe duties and import taxes, every country is different.
