Default New Brake pads?!?!

The dealership said I need new brake pads on just the front. They said the rotors were fine for now, so its just the pads. Any idea on what that should cost?

I dont need a new system. I just need new front pads.


What pads are you guys using?


What do you think it would cost to install them on the front? Just pads, no re-surfacing of rotors or anything else.


I've been good, just too busy lately. Finishing up the semester is a bitch. How do you like your new bumper, flash?

I'm using Hawk Pads and love them. I cought my last set of pads on fire when me and a friend were playing around on a twisty road. I love the Hawk pads there a bit more expensive but I believe they are worth the cost. I've been on that same twisty road a few times since the new pads and have nad no problems with them.

Yeah the hawk pads are worth it if you don't mind spending the money. And considering the pads I caught on fire were some generic napa pads that were only a month old. I will definetly spend the extra money on better pads for now on.
