Brakes

Post by Sinister »

Hey guys,I am looking to see where everyone buys thier pads and rotors from and see what kind of prices they are getting.I checked into Part Source and Canadian TirePart Source: Pads - $86.39 - 15% Rotors - $47.79/eachCanadian Tire: Pads - $49.99 (Nascar pads) Rotors - $54.78/eachThen I found 2 sellars on ebay that do local pick up in the GTA and their prices were between $75US and $85US with a $5 pick up fee. these both would come with semi metallic pads, but I would probably get a set of the pads from CT to use instead.Also what tools would I need to do this job. I have done brakes before on a pick up and on a sunfire. Just need the specific toolsThanks

I will post up how all is once I install them.. As for price I couldn't complain. You have to remember a lot of these parts places get their parts from the same suppliers just set different prices for them.
