They should carry whatever you need at a much lower cost.

Try that, it should work.

I bought all my stuff on e-bay and spent no more then around 700 and did all the work myself. Pretty easy and took about 8 hours total. I just had trouble with one rear rotor that was stuck. Pretty simple and straight forward. There are several writeups here with nice pics on how to DIY.

Parts needed would be the front pad sensors, pads, and rotors. (Don't forget to upgrade the pads and rotors. : I ended up getting some crossdrilled brembo rotors and some axxis pads.)

Seven bills? For brake parts? Pair of front rotors; $120, pair of rears; $80, front pad set; $70, rear pad set; $45, and a pair of front pad sensors; $7. That’s less than half. Did I leave some parts off? Even if I tossed in the e-brake kit; $25, the wheel bearing kit; $50, and a quart of ATE blue or gold; $15, I'd still be under four and a quarter.

Exactly. Go to irotors. c o m

Crossdrilled rotors and pads ran me $450 shipped for all 4. ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...spagenameZWDVW ) Apparently they are cheaper now by $50.

Sensors were $20 shipped.

Fluid was $20 locally. But can be found on e-bay as well.

I guess my total was around $500. I don't have a good memory. (Been over a year now)

i have never changed or messed with the pad sensors,is it an easy process??are there any DIY instructions for the change?thanx to all for the info,much appreciated

jtbeche

I'm pretty sure it's in the post for changing the pads in the DIY sticky.

The old sensors just slide off and the new ones slide on. Simple. If you've changed brakes before on rotors, this is a simple job.

thank you all sooo much.im goin to order the ones on ebay from irotors.com. thats going to save me lots of money,because 1700 was sounding ridiculous.

str8ridin

do we have sensors in the rear?

Dan Wang

Yes, just one though... I can't recall which side though.

just wanted to say THANX to all of u for the help. i just finished the job- new rotors and pads from irotors.com and painted the calipers black. my total was about 600 buks.i saved at least 1k bucks doin the work at home. here are a few pix.o and the back did not have any sensors,only the front.
