Yes and yes. Why do you think they will rip you off? Last time my dealer quoted me $149 for front brakes on our SLK, didn't think it was that bad.

THE C
You should do it asap so you don't need rotors also. I would do it myself however if I was you. Very easy. Damn near don't even have to take the rims off. Its as simple as pulling a pin and throwing the other ones on.

That sounds fine with me...With my driving style my brakes will probably wear a little quicker than normal, so I wont be as discouraged as I thought I would be when I eventually get the message.
