Default Aw man... assistance! Danke.

So I have a bum driver rear wheel bearing and I'm too busy and it's too cold to do it myself, so I have a local shop doing it... truely guys I can trust.

Anyways, They just called to tell me that the passenger rear brake is down to the metal and I need a new rotor and new pads(obviously). $200 for rotor and $160 for pads. Ha. They suggest doing both sides so $850 total for both rotors, pads, and wheel bearing being done(I supplied the wheel bearing). Nicht danke!

QUESTION: Anyone know of a sweet hook up on a rear rotor? I'll just slap this together myself. If you know a deal on rear pads, that would be neato as well. Thanks in advance.

Default You can get front rotors for $200.. so that sounds like a pretty exhorbinant price. Check

ECS tuning... they have decent prices on brake stuff.

That's not a bad price; esp. with the convenience of being local
