You could do it yourself if you have tools. The only tricky part would be getting somebody to turn the rotors and doing the lines yourself if you've never done it before. There's a couple of decent DIY around here.

bleeding and flushing the system takes a good amount of time to do right.

pads and rotors are a breeze though.

Absurd, $382.50 is probably as much as the cost of the mentioned parts. You can do it yourself if you are even slightly mechanically inclined. As mentioned the only annoying part of the job is bleeding. Buy a motive or similar pressure bleeder for ~$40 on ebay and you've just made your life so much easier, and now you have the use of the bleeder forever.

I can send you our installation guide with pictures that'll make things a lot easier. It also has bleeding and bedding information.

Granted it's not Rotora, but it's basically the same.

PM your email and I'll send today.

If im installing new rotors...they dont need to be turned.

Actuallys its almost 700 or so in parts. rotors are like 130/pc and hawk pads are pretty costly. Makes me wonder If i should just get a 6pot front and some beefier rear for just a bit more..

Are these parts for the brembo brakes or non-brembo? If they're not for the brembo you are getting raped @ $700 for lines, pads and rotors.

non brembo, i have a performance trim.

How do you figure? The cost seems to be the same every site i visit...about 120+ for the direct replacement rotors..
