Brake prices

Sterling parts department quoted me $130 for rear pads and sensor. By contrast, Classic quoted me about $95. The magnitude of this difference is surprising. Thoughts?

Mintex Red Box Front and Rear on Ebay = $60. Fast shipping as well.
Splice the sensor together, and zip tie it back.

Maybe...

I went to Mini Mania to check prices and see
OEM rear pads $91.20 and the sensor $24

So classic is either a GREAT price, or they forgot the sensor

If I was replacing tho, I don't think I'd use OEM /// didn't use OEM. For street I went EBC and enjoy less dusting.
