Currently @ 31K miles...hoping it's just pads right? Anybody hazard a guess on price?

Probably just pads. I switched my rotors at 45k, although some people recommend changing them every 2 brake pad changes. Go with Hawk Ceramic Pads, or Hawk HPS, they are virtually dustless, and have good performance. Also, don't forget the pad sensors. Do it a an indy shop and not at your 'Stealer'


However, Do a search there are plenty of threads on Brake pads.

Buy the pads and do it yourself. Very easy to do!

The sensor is for the pads only. U may or may not need rotors (if it's the fronts).

Check my DIY post on Rennlist or Renntech if u want to DIY. Not that hard if u get the right tools.

If u DIY, the pads are about $100/set, Rotors are $600/set, sensors and clips about another $50.

My stealership wanted $1800 for the fronts.

Just had the dealership do mine (front pads, sensors and rotors). $1100. Just couldn't find the time to do it myself.

Do a "Search" ... many of us have had our brakes changed or upgraded.

It's an easy DYI activity.
