Need better brakes So my brakes I'm pretty sure are stocked, and they are now warped. So every time I brake the whole damn car starts to vibrate pretty badly, I think it's getting worse and I need to replace them. Does anyone have any idea where I can get some better than OEM replacement brakes for dirt cheap? My friend with the '09 G8 GT said he got 4 brake discs and pads for $205. But that site doesn't sell them for my car, as far as I know. Any suggestions?

Cheap? Napa blank rotors. You can easily get all rotors for around $100-140 if you explore the alternatives at Napa, Advance, and AutoZone. If you're only looking for replacement stuff, those places have some good options. I would, however, encourage you to go with a more performance oriented pad.

Yeah, if you ever see something that you think is too good to be true, it probably is. I don't wanna pay an arm and a leg for better than OEM replacements, but I would like to get the most inexpensive ones as possible.

Well if cheap OEM replacement is your goal, then my earlier post holds true since those guys usually have great warranties with their "cheap" brakes replacements. These aftermarket "performance" drilled and slotted rotors of questionable quality probably aren't your best bet. I'm just saying that front/rear pads and front/rear rotors for $165 shipped means you're looking at very little money for each part, which would scare me especially since its brakes.
