Where to Get New Brakes?

I need new Pads a Rotors (disks) and the Dealer wants $80/rotor

and Canadian Tire wants $90/rotor.

Where do you people get your new Rotors/Pads from? cheaper?
in the US new Rotors were like $20 each

You have to pay to play.

Brakes are very important, why would you ever want to cheap out on them?

Get a set of brembo rotors.

Unless you're on a road course all the time you really don't need cross drilled rotors. The only reason for cross drilling is to cool them of faster and let the gas that's created escape to the vents better. You will not notice a difference in the brakes just by putting them on a road car.

You will notice a difference, you will go through pads a hell of a lot quicker.
