$450 is still $450 :-) Was also eyeballing the stop tech cryo-sportstop drilled rotors, but 4 rotors+ pads will cost me ~$850. Honestly I don't think I really need drilled rotors except the bad ass look effect.

Did my rotors and pads on all 4 with the this Kit (drilled and slotted with ceramic pads). It really is easy, I kept my brake sensors since they were still good. Performance seems pretty much like stock to me and the rotors look very pleasing.
The electronic parking brake is no problem at all you can change the Rotors with no "putting the car in service mode" The rest is pretty straightforward, if you've done brakes before this will be no challenge

Unless CT has a sale on or you have points, I'd just order from Rock Auto. Better selection and prices.

the only problem with rock auto youre paying like $200+ for shipping ... any other sites that cater to canadians that arent going to be that expensive?

i was going to get the pads from GermanParts.ca

Canadian tire had teh same kit for $742 (performance version of the Z23 vs the non perfromance from rock auto)

$600, so $150 in savings, but $200 shipping to GTA....

I normally find that Rock Auto has cheaper prices and better selection than locally, which will often still save me money after paying shipping.'

GermanParts.ca has free shipping over $150 from 8-12 July.

I replaced with mine with BREMBO 09992511 and AKEBONO EUR1042A from rock Auto.

Dusts way less than dust and same if not better bite. Coating is thick and should help keep rust down. No comment on longevity but I'll be doing my front discs/pads soon and will probably go equivalent up front.

They do squeal when cold during winter time, but once I get a corner or two and a bit of heat, they are quiet.

This is -30C Edmonton winter tho, not GTA winter... haha.
