Consult a member here Daios, if you want the best price on installation. He will beat any shops and he is very reputable.

Of course he'll beat any shop.

Does he have business insurance?
Registered with the BAR? Shade tree'ing for money is illegal.

If you can verify that you have the same calipers as a 2.5RS, then I have some used pads for like $25 bucks if you want. They still have a decent amount of life left.

Eric's a good friend of mine and all, but please don't use his name like that to compare with shops. He does this as a hobby to help friends out, not compare himself to a business. Let's not go overboard with those statements.

If you cant afford or refuse to pay shop prices, and don't mind someone who does this for a hobby.

His "donations" that are accepted are significantly cheaper yet the work is that of comparable to shops. But because he does not have a BAR license, business insurance, etc he is not to be compared to a real business. So disregard my first reply on beating any shop prices as he (Daios) does not compare to shops since they are 2 different entities in comparison---Shop and Hobby. Required monetary payment vs donations

there's a post on nasioc about cheap blank rotors with part numbers from NAPA. I think they're $40 for front. You can get autozone lifetime semi-metalics for like $50 for the fronts. I think the rears are slightly cheaper.
