Although I've seen numerous postings on these BB's regarding aftermarket brake parts, I have to restate the advantages of a factory/dealer brake job.
Genuine parts - Some aftermarket pads will cause strange noises, squeaking, grinding and such.
Warranty - If you do get strange noises from aftermarket parts, are they going to warranty it?
Safety - It's pretty easy to incorrectly install brake hardware, espcially those mystery parts that don't seem to be needed that play a critical role in noise. I've seen hoses mis-routed and other snafu's by good mechanics unfamiliar with a particular brand.
It ain't a Cavalier or an Escort and $500 ish for front and rears and rotors is the going rate for a luxury import or even a domestic or non-luxury import.
