Hey guys,

Im guessing the majority of you have had to deal with fixing up your front rotors at some stage, just want to know a reasonable price for this? I've been quoted $220 and $300 to replace the front two, rotors are only about $70 each aren't they?

I've got a nice healthy grind coming from my front left rotor, hopefully there's no damage to the piston or caliper as i've kinda left this problem to get worse gradually :doubt:

While i'm at it can someone recomend a place to get this done in NOR in perth?

Cheers

$220 is cheap. $300 is more like it. If i was you i'd get some DBA replacements and Bendix GCT or CGT or whatever the hell they are. Don't go for cheap ****ty discs and pads, it isn't worth the money saved.

I've got some ferodo pads waiting to go in, just gotta get some rotors. I've gotten a hold of a local place thats always got alot of business that are willing to do it for $200 so ill just go through them. Not sure what rotors they are going to use, just the standard ones.


Cheers for the reply

yeah $220 does sound cheap i had mine replaced last year, i got new rotors and pads, and it cost me close to $350.
