I need to get the front brakes done as well as have the rotors changed. Where can I get the OEM parts for a good price and what am I looking at spending?

I could use the same info about where to find OEM front rotors and pads the cheapest.

I'd get the ones from Alex's Tire Rack link, but I must have OEM for G-stock autocross. . .

 

call up classic mini in ohio. i am sure they can beat your dealer. even with shipping.

 

For anyone needing new OEM rotors-

Why do you need new rotors? What happened to the original ones?
If there is a wearing issue then have your dealer check them out and determine if the pads and rotors need changing under warranty. Any car under a year or two old should not have worn through rotors.

Other owners have reported that rear pads and rotors were replaced under warranty.

Another source for rotors is anyone that has replaced their stock rotors with aftermarket big brake kits or slotted or driller rotors. Usually they are relatively new rotors and don't need machining.

 

^^^minihune - stating the obvious once again Thankfully it wasn't his usual 5-page essay answer, whew!

 

Many of our customer are starting run out of warranty.

So We just started ordering OEM ATE Rotors and Pagid Pads for our service department.

I am not finished up dateing the web site as some picture need to be taken and text need to writen but you can get an idea about pricing already.

I've got 41k on my car and I have had my brakes done once, under warranty. I took my car in for an oil change at my friends shop, and he told me that I have very little left on my frint brakes before I start wearing into my rotors. He also found hot spots on my rotors. I drive my car very hard.

 

I'd like to know who, and at which dealers.

My rears were toast at 43,000 miles - about 13,000 miles ago - & the dealer charged me nearly $500 to replace the pads AND rotors, saying the rotors couldn't be turned as they were composite (I later learned this means multi-part & not something like carbon fiber or ceramic...).

I've since done the fronts m'self with RSpeed grooved rotors & GreenStuff pads.

If some dealers do it under warranty, well under the 50,000 mile mark, I need solid proof before ranting for a refund!

 

why would you then what to get OEM rotors and not some higher performance ones ...slotted...drilled...my buddy picked up for stock size after market rotors for next to nothing....I dunno if htere is another deal like that out there but generall I find it is cheaper to get aftermarket stuff than OEM and it's better!

I recommend
