just got my new car its a 03 gt got it the brakes were fine now they are squeeking bad took it to my buddy who looked it over its got super super cheap pads on he quoted me a price of 500 bucks to redo front and back just cant afford that but dont wanna put junk on it need it to last any no of good stuff and places to find it cheaper need pads and rotors thanks
 


You can buy brand new pads and rotors for the front and rear with quality pads for around 200-250 bucks at just about any parts store.

Then its just the labor to put them on, of course its free if you do it yourself.
 
All new pads for the front and back can be had for $30-80. Rotors are more expensive. I would take the car elsewhere for another estimate. My bet is the brake pads are worn down and that terrible squeak is the wear indicators telling you it's time to replace the pads.

Any shop should be able to replace all the brake pads in under an hour for less than $150 with parts.
 
WOW $500 to change brakes? I just did a guys brake pads all the way around for $80 including parts.
 
yea the guy i took it to was gonna put the premium pads with rotors on it with lifetime replacement so if they had to be changed all i would have to do is just pay the install after the 1st time
 


any one no of good ones to look for i want some that im not gonna have to worry about for a long time trying to stay away from the duralast ones from autozone
 
Advance has Wagner rotors for $55 each for the fronts, $43 each for the rears. They have Wagner Thermo-Quiet pads for $64 for the fronts, and $67 for the rear.

Thats around $330 for some good pads and rotors. You can install them in a few hours if you have even an ounce of mechanical ability and and basic tool set.
 
Duralast is on par with Wearever at Advance. I do have Wearever on my Grand Prix and it is okay, but if I had to do it again, I would go with Wagner.
 
Had CarQuest full ceramic pads and never heard a peep and little dust with proper installation. I think they're made by Movetech. ....maybe?

I don't use Never(thermo)Quiets

Wearever rear rotors from advance are holding up great.
 


Yea that's not a buddy price. A buddy price is a 12 packs and pizza.

Do the work yourself its not difficult and you'll only be $200-300 if that in just parts.
 
had a deal yesterday on advanced auto parts for the prems for the front 112 bucks but didnt have enough money kinda pissed me off lol
 
order from their web site, google for a discount code, theres better ones then the one they give you. do the store pick up so no shipping charges.
