Easy to change if you do it yourself.

Hard to beat the OE brakes / rotors, especially for the price.

Easy to do it yourself.

I can buy them at shop prices locally. You to should be able to negotiate with your local dealer and get them well below list or call Parts Rack.

Are you actually inquiring about needing new rotors and calipers, or just new pads?

Ditto, There really simple to change out.

There are a lot of aftermarket pad manufactures out there including Hawk and EBC among others. These are resonably prices. At the other end of the price spectrum are Stoptechs. It really depends on what you are looking at doing for mods on your car. It is staying stock? It is going to have more HP? If so upgrading the brakes is a good idea. If the black dust is an issue for you then another brake pad type will solve that problem.

Fell free to call me and I can walk you thru changing your pads as it is really easy.

$80 an hour for a dealer to do it or something perhaps you could learn yourself (I'm gonna try and change my SRT Ram's brakepads for the first time soon) and save some good money. My vote is for the better bang for the buck elsewhere. I dont think brakepads are covered under warranty but if something else is wrong (your posts lists you need new brakes) perhaps they are under warranty, then go to the dealer.
