hey guys,

I'm just about to do new brake rotors and pads on the front of my Sud.

Got some rotors lined up at NZ$52 + gst each, is that a reasonable price?? Is there anything I should look out for quality wise?

Also, on the topic of pads, a quality brand is important right? I've had several quotes, cheapest being NZ$43 (Silverline brand) and most expensive being NZ$100 + gst (Mintex brand). Being a student I cannot afford the most expensive, but am leaning toward a Bendix pad, as I know the name and they are slightly more aggressive than a standard compound, without compromising cold stopping power (so I have been told) as they have copper in them.

Any advice would be welcome,

Cheers,
Richard

52+ sounds like a good price to me. Are your brakes inboard or vonverted to outboard?
Regards Eddie
