Brake pads & Rotors

[Nitemare]

Where is the best place to order online some Brembo pads & rotors in Canada? The dealerships in NB all want over $3000 plus labor. F THAT!! Also in case the brakes & rotors are out of my price range. Can I just put some lower grade pads & rotors on there with the stock Brembo calipers? Is it absolutely necessary that I have to replace the rotors if I replace the pads? The rotors are still smooth, no blue coloring to them & the edges are still smooth & no gouges on the rotors at all. Any help with all of these questions would be a huge help!

Can I just put some lower grade pads & rotors

Not lower grade, just different brand name.
The Brembo pads are awful, my opinion.

Rock auto has several good options for pad replacement (and rotors)

My last order of brake pads (+ a 21mm impact socket). Shipping took just 2 days.

Agree. I ordered Powerstop Z26 pads and slopted/cross-drilledrotors from Rock Auto last summer. Pricing was really good and they came really quick.

Given your description of the rotors, I would say they do not need to be replaced.

How many KMs on your existing brakes?
Any brake pedal pulsations?

I would recommend swapping to a high-quality pad and rotor that is not OEM. You are most likely going to need to just swap your brake pads. We create the K8SS Elite Sport Ceramic Brake Pads to eliminate the vibrating and pulsing issues people are facing. Our compound is a low-dust compound that has little to no squealing.

I've not yet done it, but changing both the pads and rotors look to be very quick and easy to do yourself. There are many YouTube videos going through this process.

Another nod to Rockauto if you're ordering from Canada. Pricing is so good, even with shipping, and my Z26 pads arrived within the week.

Bosch BC1001 pads on Amazon. They were like $30 for the front sets.
