Rear Disc Brakes for $73





I went down to Autozone and bought new brake pads and rotors for the rear of my vw passat. The total cost was only $83 and they had a $10 mail in rebate. So net cost $73. Not bad and I have allready put 500 miles on them and they are working like a charm. Here are some pics of my brake pad replacement. The only hard part was renting the tool(free) to turn the main part of the caliper so it would set back in. Most cars you use a C clamp to do this but with the VW you need a special tool.
