Default Woot! New rotors/pads..

2007 with 66k miles. The car was getting pretty bad shakes when I would brake from speeds. I have pretty new tires so I new it was not the tires. Bought new rotors and new Akebono ceramic pads and got them on yesterday. No more shakes.. Yay!!!

I bought the parts some time ago and from what I remember, total was close to $900. Thank goodness I have a buddy that helped install it for a lunch and some gas... 4 rotors and pads all around is not cheap.

No.. Sorry. They are just rotors and pads. But it is so nice to not have the steering shaking away as I brake. It sucks to see someone do things and make it look so easy...

At 55k right now and my rears are getting to the point of replacement. I just purchased yesterday new rear slotted Centric slotted rotors and Axxis Ultimate brake pads all around. I'll now have slotted rotors all around and once the backorderd Axxis front pads get in, I'll be in braking heaven! LOL I seriously dislike the StopTech Street front pads I have right now.

you will love it having new brakes all around. I think I could have gotten away with just fronts but decided to do them all. I think I got the same rotors as you but I went with the Akebono pads.
