Default Brake Service

Well looks like it's time for me to get my brakes done. Anyone know what the price range is for getting them done at a dealership?

Should i upgraded the pads while I'm doing them? And if so any recommendations?

look into some aftermarket pads if youdo any kind of agressive driving. something like EBC Red Stuff/ Hawk/ Porject Mu Pads are all great pads and do not cost an arm and a leg. The Nismo Pads are just not worth the money. If you are just a daily driver that doesnt push the car stick with the stock pads. Just my 2 cents

i just got the axis ultimate pads (f + r) for under $100 shipped, and paid a local shop $100 for the install. so under $200, and i love them. more bite than stock, no squaking at all, and no brake dust so far.

I have heard really good things about the axis pads for daily driving. Very low dust and good bite and that was a great price for them. The more I hear the more I think I will put them on the wifes car.

The dealership quoted me around 280 for the pads and turning the rotors...

When i first talked to the guy he said since it was my first brake service I would need new everything.. pads/rotors.. and he quoted me some insane amount, like $800.. So i promptly started to walk out as I laughed...
