Rotors and Brakes
Hey Guys I live in the LA area. Sherman Oaks to be more specific. I got a guy who has worked on my care quoting me 270 including labor to replace rotors and pads. Wut do you guys think ? I would do it myself but don't think my back can hang. So I am trying to see if this is a good deal or do I have any other options. He is replacing my rotors with new stock Accord Rotors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Take Care

Many Many and I say Many threads have been started regarding brakes & rotors.
Do a search and your answer will be solved.
btw..I think 270 is to much for stock brakes and rotors.
I got my brembos with pads for 270.

the stopping power on them suck, and they will produce a ton of brake dust. I'd recommend OEM pads, or AEM/Nissin pads. lifetime pads=crap

get the most expensive autozone have, they are great and cost around $50, i think u paying way too much, all that should b like a $50 job. pads u can install them urself and even get the tools from autozone for free. u can get the complete upgrade kit from theaccordstore.com for under $200 and they better than stock.

you know what, i bought auto zone pads because mine where gone (sensor was rubbing) and i needed to wait till i was paid in a week and i regret not putting up with the squealing cause with-in 3 days of the new pads they where burning and i almost wreaked my accord due to my pads heatign up and no matter how much further i pushed the pedal my car didn't slow down anymore... needless to say i ended up changing my brakes shortly after... DONT GET AUTOZONE PADS... if you value your saftey or car !
