Brakes for a 2015 GT Performance Pack

[Felixthecat]

Usually get my services done at the Sam Pack in Lewisville. One of the service advisors said I needed brakes and rotors. Said it would cost around $700+. I think my rotors are fine, can anyone recommend someone for brakes? I would try and take care of it myself, I just don't have the time right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ah man the performance pack brembos are truly a breeze to change. You can get a set of pads on rockauto for cheap.

Felix, are you looking to upgrade or replace?

I just want to replace the pads. Nothing crazy.

Fronts are retarded easy. You can take your rotors to a brake shop to get the rotors milled clean and it's only two bolts to remove the caliper. Once you get your rotors back install the new pads. Plenty of vids on youtube for how to swap pads with Brembos.

I took my stock Performance Pack rotors and pads off around 5k miles and upgraded to powerstop slotted/drilled rotors and new pads. I have the originals laying in the garage if you want them. There wasn't anything wrong with them, I just wanted to upgrade and got a good price at the time.

As has been said, the fronts are ridiculously easy. I just lubed my pads last weekend, and it took less than an hour to lift the car, pull the wheels, pop the pins, remove the pads, clean and lube, then replace and reinstall everything.

How many miles are on the car? I pulled my stock pads last November, after about a year, and 15k miles of driving, and they had PLENTY of material left.

...I HIGHLY doubt you need new rotors.

Never turn those rotors. Just change pads.
If rotors warp just replace them as turned rotors are thinner and likely to just warp again.

If you just want to get rid of them, I'll take them off your hands.
