I'll second that www.autopartswarehouse.com recommendation. I just bought Power Slot rotors and Hawk pads for all four corners for less than $500 shipped! I did a lot of digging and they came up cheapest every time.

Besure that you do not get oem pads. They are crap and cause vibration overtime. Some will state that it is the rotors warping but the pads are the real problem. Hawk is a great product just make sure you follow bedding instructions on aftermarket pads and you will be good.

thanks guys but I was forced to buy from a local shop they gave me thermo quiet pads or something like that. My car was making noise even when I drove and it was very annoying and I couldn't drive another minute like that. It came up to 200 even with them cutting my rotors. Does that sound like a good deal? I tried them out over the last two days and they don't make a sound, and stop pretty well.

$200 for the parts and labor for just the front is probably pretty close actually. You should definately check out the group deals if you're looking to save a little bit of money and you can hold off for a few days awaiting parts arrival. Good luck.

I 2nd that, have heard nothing but good things about them and I have a set waiting to go on in a few more miles.

I replaced my originals front pads with Axxis/PBR Deluxe pads. After a good bedding, these have been very quiet with little to no dusting.

Well it came to 200 for new front and rear brakes so I'm guessing thats a good deal. And they cut my rotors all for that price.

remember that all new pads are good from the beginning. and cheap pads can start from $25 per pair. anyway if you paid $200 for ceramic pads not organic then thats a good deal. but if they installed organic pads then theres nothing much to say. but still $200 is a good deal with all the labor and rotors turned.

Is there a reason that the onlines have two different dates of manufacture for the '03? I'm guessing that they made a mid-year change, can someone confirm?
