Welcome to the club!
If you have or can borrow a caliper you can remove the wheels and measure the rotors. If they are thick enough that they can still be turned at a FLAPS, it won't cost much at all to have them turned. Your FLAPS can probably supply you with pads as well. That would be the cheapest way to go. If the rotors are not think enough to be turned, then as others have said, there are plenty of 914 guys in your area with used parts. You could probably core a set of used rotros that could be turned pretty cheap. Having said all of that, let me also say that brakes are not the place to save money. You and the lives of other motorists and pedestrians are worth the extra bucks to get the job done right. |
