Changing out all 4 brake rotors, pads, sensors, fluid etc. is not a cheap operation, especially if you use high quality parts....
Good reminder at this end - thanks for the wake-up call

Haven't got my brake checked for a while and 'soon' would be about right to get those items checked. Haven't changed the fluid for over 5 years.... must be half water and half fluid by now :/

Went out to the garage a few min ago and touched the front rotor... there is a lip there I don't like. No idea what the thinness specs are for my rotors but I'm sure my indy here knows all about brakes. Arggg cost cost cost....... lol
