How come the discs and the pads cost so much? Braided line does not really make much of a diff when i installed mine on my old car. That is a huge number to spend on suspension and associated parts. Lol I did the same on my old car. Was very simlar to 3k and still wanted to do more.

Why would I lie about the price the rear rotors were $150 each locally as they were so rare. I must admit if I shopped around I could of gotten them cheaper, but I wanted them there and then.
