Maybe you need the snobby brand names to impress your other snobby friends. Why spend this much money you can spend less than half this much for a great brake setup??
Your money..........

I just replaced all four corners on my base 05 with 40k miles on the clock. I bought stoptech slotted rotors from WorldOne (sponsor on the board) for a great price shipped, and took in Hawk pads I had purchased previously. The dealer did the install for about $245 US plus flushed my fluid through for free (because I brought in my own stuff - ATE Super Blue). All told, I figure I spent less than $850. Hope this helps.

$2200?
I hope that comes with dinner and a room full of pre-paid (by you) strippers....that is absolute robbery
What you should buy:

amazing pieces, better than stock equipment, comes with everything needed, and maybe 1.5 hours of labor....means more money for other toys!

I did drilled/slotted rotors, SS brake lines, Hawk street pads and Motul fluid swap for way less than half of that price. Please shop around. There are soooo many alternatives to that price. Don't get raped.

While I don't have Brembos, I just replaced my rotors and pads using Powerslot Rotors and Hawk HPS pads I bought from Z1. Very easy DIY. Save yourself some $$.
