Saved $800 installing these brakes instead of going to the dealer

Hi, just wanted to let people know about my recent experience with my '09 Highlander. My dealer told me that at 67,000 miles my front brakes/rotors were almost in need of replacement and would cost about $700 including labor. I didn't feel any shaking, but I had to press a little harder to slow down appropriately. I searched the internet for alternatives and came across this package. Shipping cost: $310 including front and back. I looked at a very helpful thread on installing brakes and decided I didn't have the guts to try this myself in the dead so I just went to a local mechanic with good ratings who looked at my brakes and told me , I might as well replace them both while I was there. Total labor cost for two sets of brakes? 180 dollars. So I ended up replacing both brakes with quality rotors/pads for $490, probably at least $800 more than I would have paid at the dealer. Brakes work much better now. I'll post if I have any negative experiences with it, but so far it's working great!

Pros
  • solid construction
Cons
