i need new brake pads for my car...how much does it usually cost...it doesn't have to be the top of the line...since i dont track my car...its just daily driving...and my friend said that sooner i need to re surface the rotor...or should i just buy a new rotor...thnx for your info...i want something cheap but reliable...

 

Assuming your car has not already had this done you can try calling your dealer and telling him your car has excessive front brake dust, and you heard there was a TSIB where they'd replace the pads with low dust ones, and you'd like to make an appointment to have that done.

Voila, free brake pads. Front only, but those ought to be worn far sooner than the rears anyway.

 

ive done this when my mileage was lower...they replace my brake pad when it was alot of dust and squeking..

 

I put AutoZone Gold ceramics on my IS350 & I like them low dust, not grabby like the originals, & silent for 2,000 miles $59.99

 

I have SATISFIED ceramic brake pads. I got them from kragen.com or partsamerica.com and they are great!

 

I use the OEM brake pads. I paid this shop on olympic 100 dollars for the labor and the part.
