LF Brake Pads (where to buy in the GTA)

SDS135 · 05-05-2017, 06:25 PM

Replacing brake pads and rotors. Just need to purchase rear pads. I wanna go with a OEM brand textar etc.

Currently running cool carbons that I purchased in the US. Any recommendations are appreciated, and what I should expect to pay.

Thanks

Jspec in Scarb/Markham. I bought Hawk HPS pads. Came to about $340 cash. That was front + rear. Should it should be half that at least.

I would call Leo at GermanParts, last time I checked they were running a special for rotors and pads. For OEM parts also, there prices are pretty descent.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'll give them a ring.

Just went to that website, $108 for the textar brand. Even the brimbo are about $140ish. Sales all over the place lol. Makes me want to buy rotors and pads for next year just for the savings =\

Off that website which would you say is the best pad and rotor to purchase? For daily driving not track

Burning Rubber in Oakville can get almost anything for a good price.

Sorry, don't check forums often. More scary stories then anything that make me want to trade the car in for a Honda ahaha.

I was on GermanParts. They had a sale on everything pretty much.

Whoever designed the torx guide pins must have also designed the flat head screwdriver which in my opinion is made to slip and either bust knuckles or stab you
.stripped one yesterday trying to remove caliper.called bmw and they want $16 each for these POS and 2-3 business days.
got a whole box of 50 these for $17 tax in.much better design.i will have to machine the ends which is no biggie though.
