Somehow this got moved to the for sale forum, so I'm reposting it here...

My mom's 2k3 has been having this droning noise coming from her rear brakes for a week or two now. Since I am away at school, I told her to take it to a shop and get it looked at. Mechanic calls me up and say "gee, it looks like someone's been driving around with the e-brake on.. The rear pads are to the metal and the rotors are warped." I just laughed.. until he quoted me his price of $450 for replacing rear rotors/pads, and doing basic 30k mile tuneup stuff (oil change, filters, etc).

That is plain rediculous. A quick check shows me that I can get brand new brembo's (which I have on my 4th gen) for her car, all the way around (front and rear), plus new pads for the rear, for under $300. If I just want rear brembos and pads, it would be like $175. Yet Courtesy Nissan sells OEM rotors for $79 each?! What the hell.

That being said, I think that having only rear brembos with stock fronts would look silly. Can someone point me to any good deals out there on stock rear rotors?
