    Dude brakes are incredibly easy and they will probably use crap parts. Buy good stuff and throw it on.

      I agree with above. I have a complete set of brakes from my car I can sell you for $150 shipped. Brembo blank rotors and axxis ultimate pads with 2k highway miles on them. Paid $225 shipped from Turner over the summer.

        say no to brembo rotors.. i don't know what it is, but they worked like crap for me on 3 different cars. it was weird, i can't explain it. it felt like the brakes were oiled

          if you go to one of those brake shops, expect to have horrible, shitty brakes.

            I've used Brembos for years, on Fiats, Audis and other cars. Never had an issue. I've got ATE's on my race car only because they were on sale. ;)
