Front Brake Discs And Pads

[seanog5]

Hi Guys,

my first post on the forums.

Just got a 2003 Lexus IS200, it requires the front brakes doing, and the discs have a large lip on them so planning on changing the lot, the rears seem in very good condition, must be only a few thousand miles old.

What sort of price should i be paying? £100 parts and say £60 labour?

through a high street mechanic

The fronts are not that bad to do yourself, im sure that one of the members that live near you would give you hand if you asked them and kept them supplied with tea.

well it just depends where you go really. i would suggest get prices from local garages and go to the cheapest one.

got a price of £260 for the front pads and discs, he said the discs are £72 each? im sure i have got a price of £101 all in from eurocar parts?

It is definately worth trying it yourself, especially if you are DIY minded. These tutorials I wrote will show you what to do, and how simple a job it is.
