Brake Special My....
So my brakes need to be changed and I figured I would look around and comparison shop for the best price, as anyone should. I call one of the local Stealerships in the NOVA area (Fair **cough** fax) and I get quoted a "Special Deal" pricing this week only of $175/ea a set for pads only.

I also get a quote for labor (not that I would because I can do it myself for free and I get to drink on the job) of said pads for $270-280.

Cheers to you my good Stealership, you shall not be having any of my hard earned $$ anytime soon.

For Sh1ts and grins I went to Don Buyer Dulles for that and they quoted me an even more expensive quote.

Re: Re: (BeerEngineer)
Trust me, if you exceed the MOT of those Hawks (applies to the HPS and HP+ as well) you will have pretty much NO brakes. In this regard, the OEMs are much better as they fall off much more gradually. REFERENCE. Of course if you drive like a grandma, don't worry.

You still wasted $80

If you can take a wheel off and use a hammer, you can do them yourself in 30 minutes.

| I like the hawk ceramic. They stop as well as oem, but I don't notice any dust worth mentioning. |

| Both of the stealerships in St. Louis pulled the same stunt with me. I guess they figure since you have an R, they can charge you twice as much. So, I went to http://www.tascavolvoparts.com, bought the pads, took them down to my local independent who charged me $80 labor to put them in and saved a big wad of change. |
