Install would be between 2-3 hours for the whole car. I would only suggest getting rotors that are made AND drilled by Brembo. Rotors drilled aftermarket have a higher tendency to crack. Pricing has changed recently, but I will try to get you a quote when I return to the office.

Definitly BREMBO, and also like Ben said, X-drilled crack easily, you should think about Slotted or slot/drilled combo.

But, if you say X-Drilled rotors crack easliy, why would you want to consider/recommend slotted & drilled rotors when that is basically adding more cut and grooves in the rotors, theoretically weakening its structural integrity.

Ben actually said only buy rotors that are drilled by the manufacturer, and not buy brembo brakes that someone retailer drilled afterwards. Zimmerman makes cross drilled rotors too, and its a more cost effective alternative to Brembo rotors.

Well, I suggested the drill/sloted rotors because a lot of people I know just "MUST" have the drilled look...

For me, i'd stick with Brembo sloted rotors anyday.
