Default Need advice on front brakes and rotors

Front brakes are almost gone. Dealer? They want $110 plus $10 for each sensor. I have the drilled rotors and not sure if these can be shaved? Or should I also buy new ones? They want $140 for each.

With regards to your rotors, to the best of my knowledge you can't turn the rotors your best bet would be to go to your local auto parts store and buy them there, get the brakes from the dealer because i've never had luck with brakes from any auto parts store because they squeak but you should be okay with the rotors.

anti squal gease will quiet autopart store brakes...for a little while. I order mine from the likes of Partsbin, partstrain, autohausaz. To make sure, get the exact part number and brand from the dealer and use that in your search. You might be able to save up to 25% or so than if you bought from dealer. Rotors...hmm. I dont know too much about drilled rotors and turning them.

Lot of new brakes now in days put up a racket sometimes. Not too long ago they chaned the composition of most store common bought brake pads to be "better" for the environment, took the abestos out of them of course, and various other composition changes to make them cheaper to make. They sa they suppose to resist heat a little more in exchange of the racket they put up.
