Tan, you can get OEM rotors and pads from http://www.irontoad.com for easily less than what you pay at the local dealer. I've used them before to replace the front pads and rotors in my '01 ES, and I paid less than $200 shipped! Great service and fast delivery too

From personal experience with my 97 don't and i repeat don't buy cheap brakes from Napa or any other parts stores like i did. Make sure there OEM and you can't go wrong.. I had problems from day one when i replaced them..

I just had the fronts recut and new ceramic pads up front and no squeek... brakes are finally back to normal... GL....

Thanks bud, I definately will not go cheap. I want my wife to have some good brakes while she has the ES for her "learning" the car before I get the bimmer. As we speak I have the BFgoodrich tires sitting in my living room I just bought for her and my IS300.

Thanks again I just order the stock brakes and pads for her and rotora rotors for myself.

good stuff. Merry Xmas everyone
