Brake Pad and rotor time - Is this a good price? Hawk vs Raybestos

[sudz]

DL Action Auto in Brampton quoted me:

395 Tax included for Raybestos Rotors and Pads

Or 250 Tax In for Rabestos Pads, AutoExtra? Rotors (OEM replacement)

Parts only.

Are these decent prices?

Was looking at Garage 16's prices for hawk Pads, it'd be 180 or more + Tax for the Hawk HPS Pads - How long do they last? do they squeal? etc

HPS are pretty good, they rarely squeal. Can't comment on other as I have not used it

havent heard of Raybestos but Hawk pads are the bomb, if you bed them nicely within i'd say 250km's then you should be good with no squealing. Good luck in finding your breaks. Remember safety first!

Raybestos are good stuff. They do have several lines however, and make sure you get their top of the line Raybestos blanks and pads. They work awesome! I put a set on my friends 04 or 05 Mazda3 GT and a year later a set on his dad's Maxima. I personally did the brakes 3 times on my last car all with Raybestos (Sold the car with 486,000 kms on it). Good stuff.

Whats the longevity of the Hawk Pads? I don't want to change the pads again - 120k on the OEM ones!

A little less than OEM. Driving style largely determines brake longevity so impossible to tell you exact km, but if your OEM pads lasted you 120K, the Hawk HP pads should last you 80-100K all things being equal.
