hello,
I am looking to buy new rotors and brake pads on all four wheels. which rotors should I buy? cross-drilled? cryogenic? or original oem rotors? what about brake pads? My local midas didn't even have pads for my car! How much should I pay in labor to have rotors and pads install? I can buy my own parts and pay someone to install them since most brake places don't carry the rotors nor pads. thanks, will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

For Pads I go directly to a online race shop and they have the exact pad I need which is without question Porterfield R4S for street. Can;t remember the site now but it was very easy and Porterfield drop shipped to my door.
Rotors ??? Definately not cross drilled I am undecided about slotting but cryogentic is hard to validate the expense. I buy OEM rotors andthey seem to last me a long time. I do put studs in them as it makes it easier to change wheels. If you buy the parts there is NO REASON YOU CAN"T DO THIS YOURSELF. Let Midas work on SUV's |
