    Mike, I pay $30 a pair for machining (trade price), so $60 is probably pretty well on the mark

    I have ate ceramic pads on the golf r they are great no need to clean wheels like the oem pads.

    Sounds Ok if you just have to drop the car off & it's all done at the end.

    If the discs aren't too horrible looking & the pads are soft then just do the pads... or are the pulsing / juddery.

    I almost bought a Crewman but the kids sat in the back and started crying and googling for chiropractors. Bought the Skoda instead.

    Its just soft- heavy car... Another workshop told me to machine them but they probly thought they could have my money..

    Your wallet will cry more than the kids with a crewman. So slow and so thirsty. Great for treating it like a racecar "as far as utes/commonwhores go" hahahaha.
