Front rotor question (cant find in FAQ's)

[stubro]

OK so i posted this in the other thread on the brake pads before I saw this one so a little help. My beast is in the shop after my track day last week at Sebring and the brakes are getting done. Here is the damage and I need some advice. I know I have to do rotors, pads, and fluids do I need to do the braided lines? These prices seem high. Should I just order my own stuff?

Front Rotors(+labor) $1004 Pads Hawk HPS - $298 = $1302+tax -( are the these the rotors from AOP # 4B3615301E & # 4B3615302A. If so they is a lot cheaper)
Rear Rotors(+labor) $1058 Pads Hawk HPS 115 = 1173 + tax
Steel Braided Lines - $295 parts - $239 labo r= $534 + tax (worth it?)
Fluid (flush ABS extra time?) - Endless brake fluid : $382+ tax
Total of $3391 + tax

Holy Shit! Thats pricey!

All 4 rotors from AOP is $1168 shipped

F&R Hawks on eBay for $290.12

I would do Motul fluid, maybe $30 max

Labor is a bitch! DIY!

The only challenging part that I paid for was the flush of the brake fluid @ $250 @ Raven....The old stuff was GREEN

Thanks for the info. I bought the pads on the ebay site, great deal. I am calling the dealer today to see if they can deal on the rotors or I will order the one on AOP or Genuine. Yea the fluid cost floored me. Thanks again.

I'm replacing my front rotors and cannot get the two 10mm Allen bolts off of the caliper to remove it. Is this a reverse thread bolt? Tried PB blaster on them and still can't get it loose. Any suggestions?

Need more leverage.....turn the wheel to expose the caliper and get a tube to put over driver.

Make sure you have a sharp cornered hex driver that is fully seated in the cap screw socket before you start really twisting.

^^This. I used a 17mm allen wrench with a pipe on one side and my friend on the other side used a breaker bar with a 17mm socket and a pipe. I recommend the former, unless you arent that fond of your allen sockets

Thanks guys. Finally got the bolts off after practically breaking my hand. I used an allen wrench with the pipe for more leverage.
