I can't believe that someone just walked into a place for OEM pads and rotors for $3600! No pair of OEM level road pad, Brembo or other wise, needs to be $750.
I guess this is a case of ultimate laziness for not shopping around and looking for both better, cheaper options.

Was he advised to shop around or subtly investigate other options?



sounds pretty ok to me also

the last evo 9 we did all round brembo pads and genuine rotors $3600 fitted

but the brembo pads are around $750 for just the fronts

it happens all the time, but alot of people like to keep the evo genuine as possible, for the history of the car, or alot of the cars are lease or company cars too

sanding wheel on the grinder?!?!?!?!?!?!

r u serious????? like dics runout and shudder much?????



new disc dont. and depends on condition of rears. even so you can drop them off to be machined for $40ish

if rears are smooth and no/slight grooves then leave them and just put new pads on them. rears only do half the work that fronts do.
personally, if they in good nick but have a edge lip i would just take the lip off with a sanding wheel on the grinder. but that may not be for everyone.

you may need to remove some brake fluid from reservoir before pushing brake pistons back in.
