Picked up my new pads & rotors today. $100
Chose premium pads only because several people told me they had bad experiences with economy pads (wearing early, noise, brake dust). The parts counter guy wasn't helpful in determining the difference between the premium, mid-grade & economy choices. "Might even be the same ones in different boxes." Made in Italy.
Oh well. Somewhere a marketing hack is smiling.
Chose the economy rotors. $2 more than machining the factory discs (which I'll keep and have machined if these new ones turn out to be worse in any way). Made in China.
Should have a chance to install everything, grease the caliper sliders, and bleed/replace the old brake fluid on Sunday.
