i hate the stealership so much.

Just the pads? WOW...just looked them up on ECS and their $528 for the front.

yeah but on the bright side, they replaced a leaking shock for free

Same here, just did it last week. I"m pretty sure this was the first and last time I had the dealership to do the breaks. I will get the pads on-line or from a 3rd party, and do the work myself.

1k for the break job does not make sense to me whatsoever. And mine was at 8k miles.

And <a href="http://www.ajusa.com/browse/vehicle/146/0/25066?sid=66a4934b6f48f8c9cd3f8da705406344">AJUSA has a number of options</a> for far less...
Am I missing something here?

I wonder why they're so much more than the Hawk and EBC choices

BluDemon

you had to repalce your pads at 8K miles?

if you can change a flat tire, you can replace the brake pads.

Epiplatys

Yup, just last week. The rotors are still OK, though you can see the fairly pronounced grooves from the sensor contacts.

I didnt even have time to do my own tire swap so the dealer is doing it for me.
