Default Replacing brakes...

Hello...

I want to replace my pads and rotors, but I don't know if the major aftermarket stuff is that much better than OEM to justify the cost, so I thought I ask you folks.

Is there a preferred online supplier for parts? I found one site that had a package set of 4 rotors and 4 sets of pads for about $145, almost seems too good to be true.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!!

$145 is pretty cheap for whole package. Remember you get what you pay for.

You don't need to buy new rotors. You can have them machined and they will last pretty much the life of the car. Just buy the OEM brake pads.

I would stick with oem's if not upgrading to the high grade stuff. As Nisstech stated, the rotors can be turned for next to nothing making them brand new again.
