Brought my XFR in to the dealer the other day for service and dash replacement (bubbles yay) and they also mentioned that the front brakes and pads were down to 12% left. Was surprised that I was quoted $864 to replace them. My 2011 had everything included but I was informed that 2012 cars only got 3 services and brakes werent included. Awesome. Well, Im OK to change the brakes myself but I need options?

I did a search but only saw a post about R1 concepts on ebay. I was just going to stay with stock rotors (no slots or drilled) and regular pads. Can anyone recommend a site and part numbers?

Thanks!

 

I get my brake pads from Rock Auto, best price I can find in Oz even allowing for postage from the US.
See this page for options:
https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,c...,parttype,1684
Of those listed on that page I would go for the Centric Posi-Quiet part# 10414480, I've read good things about them.

Same with the rotors, again I would go with Centric from Rock Auto, in this list:

EBC Red here from Autopartswarehouse, they always have a special going. If you doing them yourself you will need a 9mm allen socket (NOT A COMMON SIZE) for the front and a 7mm socket for the rear caliper bolts.

 

Some of these sites dont list the XFR specifically and may only mention the SC version. Do they have the same brakes? What does everyone think of this kit:

FRT Kit Premier Series High Carbon Diamond Slot Brake Rotors Ceramic Pads R1172 | eBay

Im also thinking if I can just change the pads only and stay with the rotors? Right now I have no vibration when braking and they look good. Car has only 28k mi on it.
