My zhp has 47k on it. Brake sensor just went on. Looks like the rotors went to shit as well. I'm looking for a replacement set. Rotors pads sensors an maybe even stainless lines. Any budget friendly reccomends? Like 450 max!

If it's just one axle, you should have money left over. If it's both axles, you are pushing it.

Check out ECS Tuning. I bought the Zimmermann rear axle brake kit for my car (Brembo was out of stock). It came with pads, rotors and a new sensor. It was under 200 bucks. My shop wanted 120 something per rotor. Get real.

You could check with Smilez (Ray) and see what kind of package he can throw together.

Just checked our affiliate, AutohausAZ (http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-4193730-10701773), and front/rear rotors/pads/sensors (they don't have the front sensor?) will set you back about $411. ECS Tuning's front/rear kits will set you back about $422. Didn't check on stainless lines.

Yep-- wife gave me money for the BSW speaker upgrade for my birthday. Thinking it might be going towards this instead...

xtremco,
Do contact Smilez (Ray) on this forum, he set me up. A package with front & rear drilled & slotted rotors and front & rear PBR ceramic pads left CA 36 hours ago and are supposed to arrive tomorrow or Monday. Plus Ray did not exceed your budget, in fact you'd have enough change remaining to take your date out to dinner.

Once I got the ZHP, I put a mod line item in my monthly budget and I just blew the mod savings on parts and wheels for my Tahoe and CF nicknacks for the ZHP. Kicking myself right now. I just need to convince myself that a BBK is overkill for my needs.
