that's a great price for those pads.
might want to check with Justin @ lucky8 on terrafirma rotors they are the same price, you might want to compare?

I've never heard of terrafima, is lucky8 a website?

Dude, I know, Bap-Geon told me they were like 90 bucks for the front pads. Sike.

they are 175 with shipping, alittle too pricey along side the ceramic pads. I think the EBC rotors are the best deal so far.

I bought them, all together it was only $185. Not bad for a premium front setup!

Make sure to use the supplied sound deadening past, clean the rotors before installing and do a full 2 quart DOT 4 brake flush.

Just curious, why do I need a brake flush? (not much of a mechanic)

you brake fluid gets contaminated over the years from moisture and heat from the calipers. This is what causes the steel lines under your car to rust from the inside out, flushing out all that contamination with new fluids will restore a better fell to your pedal. You would be surprised at the black crap that will come out comes out if you do the complete system.

I have a pic I'll post someday of the brake fluid that came out of my truck
