Carlisabadman986,

I just pulled out the second 3-ring binder of four containing all of my maintenance documents and stuff.

The four rotors and both sets of pads cost me $160.18. For some reason RockAuto gave me a $7.64 discount from the original price of $167.82. There was no cost for shipping and handling.

I am sorry, I think I misled you. I purchased a Brake Pad Retainer Kit for $34.50. The kit is intended to service 2 wheels, Front Boxster S (item # 996-351-959-01-M100). I also purchased two (2) Brake Rotor Securing Screws at .75 cent each for $1.50 (item #900-256-047-01-M100). The last item I purchased from Pelican parts was a Brake Caliper Mounting Screw at $5.25 each (item #999-073-402-01-M100). Shipping was $5.25 and the total spent was $46.50. I did not need any of that stuff, but I wanted to have replacements in the event I screwed something up.

Keep in mind I purchased these back in March 2011. At the time my car had 132,290 miles.
I changed pads this earlier this year because my brake sensor light came on, but it only came on because the wire to one of the sensors broke. I purchased the pads immediately after the light came on. When I took all the wheels off, I discovered I did not need new pads. All I needed was one new brake sensor. I changed the pads anyway. I had well over 200,000 miles when I changed the pads this last time. I have over 254,000 miles as of today.
