Normally, I would do them myself- and I have twice, as winters in Vermont are brutal on the brake systems- and I drive it very little in summer.
This spring, both rear calipers were seized- or nearly so.
Left it at the local garage and just got it back. Two new sets of rear calipers, rotors and ceramic pads, plus installation (1.5 hours)
$401.95
Given the thrashing they take in the winter, that was a real bargain!!
Yeah, yeah, the parts aren't OEM- but the OEM didn't last that long anyway.
I was waiting to see what 2011 would bring for a new E or replacement, but now the pressure to trade is off.
Someone needs to invent a spray for those of us up north that will repel the salt and road grime, so our E's can last forever!!!
