i got a buddy with an evo 8 and is worried about the replacement brakes...the dealership said that they needed to get new rotors and cnc them to match the pads....ending up and a little over 2gs....in cost...its ok to just get new pads right...y the f**k would you need to spend 2gs everytime u need to get new brake pads

 

Why doesn't your friend just get some upgraded rotors for less?

 

If you want some help, please provide a lot more information. Ex: mileage, current set up, symptoms, what does he want to do with the car, etc..

 

The dealer put your buddy over the barrel.

 

sounds like the dealership is trying to make some quick cash. You can get upgraded pads, rotors, stainless lines cheaper than $2K

 

his braks are fine right now he just doesnt have alot of cash to drop on a whole new brake setup...so nothing is messed up with the breaks so doesnt that mean he can just get new pads and he'll be fine....his car has 28k miles on it wit basic bolt-ons

 

The stock rotors should have plenty of meat left on them at 28k miles. Heck, that's amazing he's still on the stock pads. Just get some new pads and drop them in, done.

 

when you say cnc the rotors, you mean machine them on a brake lathe? Why would new rotors need machined? Can anyone shed light on price of new oem rotors from the dealer? Tell your friend to ask them to itemize the repair as to how much parts,
labor, ECT are costing. $2000 for brakes??? Bottom line is your friend is taking it in
the pooper!!

 

well first off hes not on the stock pads he bought the car with around 24k miles. and by cnc i mean...they said they need to get new rotors and lathe them down to match the pad because they are "high performance" ive never heard anything this bs before...hense the title of this thread

 

Then yes, it's BS. The stealership is out to rip him off.
