Hey guys,

Thanks for everyone's tip and advice. Really appreciate it. I contemplated doing pads and rotors myself, since I decided to do the stainless brake lines too, that's too big of a job for me (IMO).

Bought everything from pelicans and it came out to about $650 shipped (including tax).

Weird thing is the front had Balo coated for $72 while the rear only had regular uncoated Balos for $48. Kinda wierd but between that and coated Zimmerman for $130 each, I went with uncoated Balos.

Pad I went with Textar .. about $180 for front and rear !

Lets hope its not a waste of $ !
