Disc Brake info!

What is it cost wise in getting the rotors turned to buying replacement rotors?

I will say the cost of these brakes isn't too bad, it's about $30 for the pads, about a little over $20 for the calipers, and I saw new rotors for $35 each. Total comes out to around $150 for the new disc brake set up.

If its only $150, and I know these are base model disc brakes, why do people say disc brakes are expensive?

Depending on where you go, getting rotors turned for $5-10 each is a typical price. It's still a pretty good savings, even with the cheap price you found for rotors. I've seen them more like $50-up here. However keep in mind quality. There are different levels of it and cheaper price usually means cheaper quality. If your used ones are pretty old, chances are they are a better rotor over the new $35 ones.
