My brakes are gone and everything needs to be replaced. MyNismo.com charges nearly $400 +ship for all four rotors and pads. I can get them used from a fellow member for $200 +ship, with 18k miles on them. Should I go for it? How long will 18k mi brakes last me? I drive 25k mi / yr.

Personally i dont believe that you should purchase and install any wear and tear parts for a car. This includes clutches and break pads. You should save up and buy some Brembos....thats what i am saving for!

It really depends on how much they are worn. If people are easy on the brakes or use the engine to slow down alot they could still have lots of life left. So without a pic showing the pad thickness I would just buy some new ones.
