Ok so Im getting some new Brakes and thought I would ask and see what you guys think. Im going to get Stoptech Rotors, Okebono pads for the front and the rear and Motol Dot 4 bake fluid and they will be flushing out my old brake fluid and installing everything for $750 Good Deal or Not a Good Deal

I just looked around the rotors in the front cost 180 the rears 160 and the pads are 125 for the rear and 125 for the front plus 45 for the motol DOT 4 Brake fluid and he is going to flush the entire brake sytem and install it seems resonable to me. the above makes a total of $635 Plus his install charges.

That sounds high as hell to me. Are these the OEM sized Stoptech rotors?

i guess thats where all the money is going, because pads rotors and fluids cost well under $400.

go with RSX brakes, for that price you can get at big brake kit, your back brakes dont really do crap anyways.

if your getting a whole new set up, you might as well get some stainless steel brake lines as well...I spent a little over 600 for powerslot cyro rotorts, akebono street performance brake pads, stoptech stainless steel brakelines.

do this yourself it is really not that hard. if anything atleast the rotors and pads and then take your fluids and get that done only.

changing brakes and rotors are so easy, do it yourself but maybe get the fluid done by someone else

oem blanks with hawk hps or satisfied gransports is a fine setup for street.

After doing a lot of reading here and other places, I went with the Hawk HPS pads, OEM blank rotors, Russell SS hoses, and Motul 600 fluid. Installed (couldn't find a convenient driveway/tool kit to do the work myself :mfrown:) I think everything wound up costing me ~$500...a bit pricey, especially considering I could have handled it myself if not for the fact I have no garage.

Definite improvement, though! I love the new setup, nice firm pedal feel, and those Hawk pads grab when I need 'em to!
The biggest benefit I've seen is the high-speed braking...here in Austin (AKA Dumbfuck-Driver Central :censored:) the ability to go from 70-80mph to 20mph in a really short time/distance is a BIG plus!

Go with the above setup, well worth it! Just do the work yourself, and save the labor costs!
Also, DIY avoids the problem of finding a shop that will install "outside" parts. Pain in the ass, that.
