Brembo Brakes

I have 128,000 km on my SS Panel and it's time to fianlly replace the front brakes....rear brakes are still fine. Dealer wants $760 to do front pads and rotors. Has anyone with Brembo's replaced their pads & rotors with aftermarket? Drilled rotors? Good or crap? Brand?

Does that price include new calibers? The brembo have a problem with the pins seizing. I had mine done and had to get new calipers which were covered under warranty. That price sounds like they might be including that.

I went with EBC Red stuff pads. Been pretty happy with them; good, consistent pedal feel, less dust and no noise.

Don't bother with drilled or slotted unless you want the look. Mine were still well within spec so I had them machined.

There pretty easy to due lucky my pins were not seized. I add anti seized when I reinstall them. There is a wright up on cobaltss.net how to do brembos. I went with some eBay drilled and slotted rotors there great.
