Default OEM Brake & Rotor Prices (Ouch)

I was going to do a brake job myself and replace the rotors.

Do these prices seem right for OEM?:

Rotors: $770 front pair
$770 rear pair

Pads: $520 front
$$396 rear

It seems very high considering some of the brake parts you can purchase non-OEM.

Does anyone have experience with DrilledRotors . com?

Thanks,

Anyone have any experience of these front & rear from Britishparts they're a fraction of the price of the ones from SNG Barret?

I messaged you my VIN. Interested in OEM Rotors as I went with EBC Red for the Pads.

Thanks,

Slotted and drilled rotors are for appearance (bling) only- nothing to do with improved braking performance on the street.

I'll agree with you on the drilled part. The slots do make a difference in performance though...

Yes, but it's a marginal reduction in braking, not increase.

Offset by the other benefits that slotted rotors provide.

Don't get me wrong, I would not put slotted rotors on a regular street car. And I would only ever put drilled rotors on for the bling (which is pretty unlikely).

I've got slotted rotors on the XJR, but that's because it sees the circuit every now & then. I just ordered new rotors for the Land Rover, they are plain, but the High-Carbon ones from Centric.

All depends on what you want to do with the car...

Double down on Sqeeter91's suggestion, recently purchased drilled front and rear rotors from these guys. US made, lifetime warranty, great price.

Somehow I got EBC Ultimax USR1600 and USR1601's for an unheard of price on Amazon. It was strange, I had been watching them here and there. All of a sudden the price dropped, I purchased. When I clicked on it again the price was right back up. Anyway, I got a very good deal on the EBC Rotors and I had a code for AutoAnything and purchased the Red-Stuff pads. I was hoping to get to it this weekend, but I put brakes on my wife's Lexus RX yesterday, so I'm braked out for now.

I got rotors, pads & hardware for all 4 wheels from CrossDrilledBrakes.com for $481. Changing them out was simple, and relatively easy. The slotted/drilled rotors actually look rather smart.
