Rotors/Pads Advise and Quote

[coldvodka]

Hello all you beautiful TN people!

I decided to replace my rotors/pads on the 2001 Camry CE. The write up in FAQ section is wicked-nice and detailed, albeit for a 3rd. I'm assuming the install should be very similar for 4th gen. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Secondly, the forums seems to favor the Brembo blanks, and I'm glad because I can get them for a good price.

Thirdly, the favorite amongst pads seem to be the Hawks HPS. However, someone recommended the PBR/Axxis XBG, has anyone tried these and willing to give feedback?

Last, the quote I got from my guy up in WA is below. Please don't be shy and let me know if there's a better deal around! Or if there's a "guru dealer" I should contact on the forum for a "groupbuy/forum" discount.


$37 each - Brembo OE Front Rotors
$39.99 - Front PBR/Axxis XBG Metal Master Pad Set
$31.01 - UPS Ground shipping to 88888
Total = $145 shipped

Cheers!

P.S. Dealer price parts/labor for rotors/pads - $735
Does that seem about right for everyone???

Your prices are in-line with what one would expect to pay.

I use Toyota pads, there not super duper but can reuse the shims, springs, etc and they are less prone to squeal.

I just got my brembos in the mail today! Yay.

I pmed AS about the pads, but he never answered me back.

I think i'm gonna go with the OEM pads from the dealer, granted they dont kill my wallet.
