I've recently discovered this annoying high-pitched squeaking sound that even seems to deafen my stereo when I apply the brakes..
...And after taking a quick gander it seems that not only have I worn out my brake pads completely but even started to warp the rotors.
I've priced a couple of mechanics and the best quote I've got is $375 for front and back brakepad replacement plus rotors. Anyone know whether this is a good price or should I fork out a few extra bucks and upgrade to some better brakes?
Any help would be appreciated.
Danke, Greg.

Hi Greg,
Try http://www.brakedistributors.com.au
They are on the Gold Coast.
I got them to source me some EBC rotors and EBC Greenstuff pads a couple of years back.
Plus they also build Cobra replica's on the side which is worth a look.
Cheers
Chris

EBC Greenstuff: NA
DBA Slotted rotor: $120

Racebrakes also worth a serious look. Bit cheaper than Greenstuff, and stop hard all day.
