rear rotors etc. Posted by cork [Email] (#716) [Profile/Gallery] (more from cork) on Fri, 29 May 2009 08:29:57 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Thanks to all who responded yesterday on this topic; and here is some info in the same vein.
Brake pads are indeed about $70-80 the pair for Akebono ceramic pads and various Saab parts sites offer Saab's own rotors for about $85 each...so, about $260 plus or minus.
This then raises the next question, which was begged by a parts and labor price of $500-plus at a non-urban-area Saab dealer I sometimes use. Though it may only be my ignorance, it is difficult to imagine a simpler job than replacing the rear pads and rotors on a front wheel drive car. Am I wrong? Is it more than a couple of hours of labor? I hope these are rhetorical questions, if not someonwe please tell me before I embarass myself
