why dont you get them machined?

pads are only like $60 for good qaulity ones

[Ryaz11]

well i was going to but mechanic reckons its not worth it

front standard rotors are around $80 for the pair, and pads are roughly $30 and all you need is a jack, stands and a couple tools and away you go. you can use the guide thats in the how-to section. is on VT-VX brakes so the calipers look a little different, its the same process.

in other words it is a big rip off.......and if you do it yourself you'll save $$$

the rotors are floating, so its only 2 caliper bolts and bam rotors pretty much fall off, if they are stuck on just bash behind them with a mallet, failing that then hammer but it will ding them but they are going in the bin so dont worry. Slap new ones on and do up 2 bolts.
Do not pay more than $200 for new rotors and good pads, you would be being ripped at the $200 mark.

Yer i got 2 front DBA slotted rotors for 100 bucks and bendix premium pads or something long that line.

500-600 is a rip, especially caus you have no idea about the quality of parts being fitted.

DBA (quality brand) rotors are about 50-60 each, slotted being about 110 each.

Bendix General CT pads are 50-60 bux.

So thats 150-180ish bux in parts.

To do it yourself you need:
A Jack and wheel brace.
19 or 22mm spanner to remove the caliper.
a 10 and 12 mm (or 12 and 13) to remove guide pin bolt.
A G-clamp to push caliper piston back in.

A couple of hours and a few beers.

I've done it for under $200 and within an hour, easy and cheap.
And slide hammers FTW!!

Unless your getting cross drilled and sloted rotors with performance pads then yeah, your getting ripped off.

Mine were slotted rotors and i also bought decent pads. There isn't much work in it at all.

I can do you a set of slotted rotors and pads for $195. Where abouts are you?
