Brake Pad set change & Machining the Rotors
My dealer "strongly" recommends front and rear brake pad set change along
with machining the rotors. He says put together it will cost about $600($291 for front and rest for rear). I am planning to get it done from the local shop, but I am planning to buy the parts from hyundai dealership. What all should I be buying ?? |

Re: Brake Pad set change & Machining the Rotors
Purchase a pad kit for the front and a pad or shoe kit for the rear,
depending on whether you have rear drum or disc. I'd recommend against resurfacing unless there's an issue with the discs/drums (i.e. rust, runout causing vibration). |

Personally I'd recommend buying the parts somewhere else other than the dealership. You'll almost certainly get a better price for the same quality parts. |

Any idea if I can get the genuine hyundai brake pad set outside the
dealership?? |
Re: Brake Pad set change & Machining the Rotors
You can purchase many good brake parts outside the dealer, but they won't
be the genuine Hyundai product. Well-known and respected products include Allied Signal/Bendix, NAPA, Raybestos, and Wagner. The aftermarket brakes may also be of different composition, and possibly cause a different feel than the Hyundai brakes. |

Personally, If I got almost 50K miles out of the OEM pad's I would go
OEM. You can't get much better. If I remember right I think the OEM are Ceramic.

The car was purchased used with 26K on it so I'm not sure if they're the original pads, but still.. |
