Default

just get new rotors and pads - the rears are pretty cheap.

Default check the usual places...

like www.ecstuning.com or www.germanautoparts.com or www.purems.com

By the time you spend your money on resurfacing your existing rotors, they'll be so thin that you'll need to replace them soon anyway. And sometimes resurfacing doesn't yield good results either. Might as well spend the money on new ones, IMO.

Default if you have a front trak then you need rear bearings too as the hubs are integral to the rotors

its not expensive for the parts but a dealer will bill 2-3 hours.

easy peasy to do yourself in about 2
