I am in need of chaging my front brakes as they are starting to make noise when braking. Can anyone tell me what I am looking at to have them replaced roughly?

What are you replacing? Just the pads or rotars as well? If just the pads than a couple hundred which includes new pads should be ok. I would recommend upgrading to Hawk Ceramic pads.

yes yes yes, go with Hawk ceramic pads. I did, along with a lot of of other stuff, and they grab well, smooth, no dust and no noise. If changing rotors as well, add another $500 -$600 all in, if at dealer, depending on your particular rotors.

I believe its just brake pads roaters dont need to be changed I think... So hawk Ceramic pads are the way will definetly go with those then.

Hey guys do you know where I can purchase those Hawk ceramic break pads?

Call JRP Performance and ask for Shawn. Tell him who sent you and ask for discount. They are located in Mississauga.

Scarface

thanks for the info appreciated.

Shawn is not only one of the managers but an Audi enthusiast himself. He owns a B6 S4.

I called and spoke to another guy there and they did not have have the Ceramic Hawk break pads in stock and recommended another brand and offered the audi forum discount which was pretty cool of him. Now if my roaters dont need changing I can really go with any break pad in that case then right?

mikeh

Yes, the only reason for the Hawk pads was that they leave a lot less brake dust and perform well. This is from other members who have transitioned to the Hawk pads.
