$200 sounds on the cheap side. Does this include REPLACING or just machining the rotors?
And I'd make sure he is using a decent brake pad:
Akebono
Bendix
Raybestos
Wagner
or similar.
Hey guys! I went to a local brake service shop this morning. They examined my brakes and told i needed to change rear rotors and pads. The labor and parts will all cost $200. Is this a fair price? He also warned me not to use Duralast ones as they are dusty..

You don't need to be an expert or mechanic to change your rotors and pads. It is fairly simple. But, $200 is a cheap price if you don't want to try yourself.

That's down to bare essentials....
Yes, you could stop at your local Auto Parts store and get a toolbox for cheap. Maybe $20 to $30 just for starters. Comes with your basic sockets, wrenches, allen/hex key sets, etc.
You guys got me going now lol..after watching a youtube video I feel like I can do it! Im gonna stop by Auto zone and see what I can get! Thx y'all for the input.
P.S: Can anyone direct me to R1concept, I can't access their page
Update: This is how bad my Rotors were. Now Im goin to change the front ones.

Thx I just sent r1concept a private email.
UPDATE!!
Installed new rotors and pads (Front - Rear) and Thx to Steve I had the front ones for a good price!
Now time to do some modding. As a college student my budget is tight sometime. What are the cheapest mods I can do on a 9G???
Out of experience, if you're on a tight budget, first get your car up to speed on maintenance. If you have more than a certain mileage, see whatever regular maintenance that you need to get done, and get that done. Once that is out of the way, put away a little money every month/pay check and then do the good quality mods, so that you are happy and they last long.
Who did you contact for the brake pads/rotors need to change my rear ones :-D
