Yeah I think so, I think it is like $299 fronts and rears, then add good pads you are out $400.

$300 for a set of quality rotors on these cars is a very good price.

+1 I got front Performance rotors and akebono ceramic pads for 250 shipped to my door. I thought it was a steal.

Turbo is a bit more involved but with the turbo you can run just off the wastegate spring (low boost) or run higher boost with a boost controller. turbo uses wasted energy to make power, no running off accessory belts or belts to snap off, no slipping of belts etc..

Thank you so much.

An alternative to turbo/supercharging your car is a shorter rear differential. It's called a poor-mans supercharger!!! I went from a stock 3.07 to a 3.46 and it made a great and fairly inexpensive upgrade. More shifting to do, but you keep your engine totally stock!

Do you lose top end that way? What are the other disadvantages?
