Customers always have a little cry when I tell them those sort of prices for their brakes

They buy these fancy expensive cars then expect parts to be cheap

Just curious Grog.
Is that an upgrade or just replacement?

Noice. I thought the 365mm slotted and vented rotors on my LandRover were decent. Only 2 pot calipers, so can't compete there.

3.5k for all four corners drive in / out ? Not too bad a price I reckon.

I had a couple of go's in the latest Porsche Speedster. I think when I looked it up afterwards it was priced over $600,000! That had huge 410mm discs.

One of the Audi R8's we had in was loaded wrong onto the truck, it dragged its carbon fibre under tray along the bitumen. I'd just bought a new 4x2 Hilux Work mate through work and the bill for my ute was less than the bill to fix the R8.
