    Question

    Hi,

    I see huge price difference in pads (all street pads) like PBR etc. Do pad come in sets (for front, or for back, hence 2 sets for the car) or individually (need 4 for the car)??
    Most claims that they come in sets of 2, hence I only need to buy 2 sets, but sometimes the low price makes me wonder.

    e.g:
    Zygmunt sells PBR pads @ 32.40(fr) and 21.60(rr) while local stealer carries them @ 102(fr) and 72 (rr), Mesa @ 48.50(fr) and 34.50(rr)

    Same for rotors. How much do Brembos/Balos usually go for?

    Anyone dealt with Zygmunt (bimmerparts.com) before? they seemed to have the best prices around.

    ????
    Thank u much,
    Erwin

    I got mine from Active Autowerke since I was down there anyway.
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
