When I have to do mine, I'll just upgrade them to slots and some nice pads, screw that OEM crap!!!

me too.. But i don't have a clue where to get cheap slotted rotors (i only want slotted, not drilled) and decent pads to go with it.....

this is the cheapest I found per rotor and has free shipping so that saves some $$$

And I'll prolly match them up with some EBC Red Stuff pads.
those run like 70-75 bucks, the green stuff is about 65 and is the best upgrade from stock, but I like canyon runs so better brakes are needed. I ran this combo w/ my 240 and loved it. Had a simular setup on my DSM a few yrs ago (power slots and Poterfield pads)

How about eBay rotors?

And dougb415, brakes are not hard, if you had someone help once, you would *probably* be fine next time. And as others have stated, do new rotors and pads for that same $$ amount or get that free dinner for your efforts!
