Hi there,
I recently went to have my tires inspected and it turns out my brake pads and rotors need replacing.
I own a 2010 GTI with 118k miles on it.
Obviously if I do it through the dealer, I know it's going to cost me a little fortune to have all that done, so I wanted to know if anyone here could tell me if it's safe to buy the parts online (shopdap) which cost way less than directly with VW.
Here's the price list I gathered:
Brake Rotor Front (312mm x 25mm)
VW 5Q0615301F
https://www.shopdap.com/1k0-615-301-aa.html
$67.82
$86.95 OEM
Brake Pads Front (One Set)
VW 3C0698151D
https://www.shopdap.com/3c0-698-151-d-3c0-698-151-a.html
$74.98
$100.95 OEM
Brake Rotor Rear (282mm x 12mm)
VW 5Q0615601G
https://www.shopdap.com/7cd41b7c3fafd6f8ef18fd01a04778c7.html
$47.54
$60.95 OEM
Rear Brake Pads (One Set)
VW 1K0698451G
https://www.shopdap.com/1k0-698-451-g.html
$49.10
$62.95 OEM
Shopdap: $354.8
OEM: $459.7
That's $104.9 I would be saving if I buy from shopdap instead of from VW.
Is it worth going with these parts for the $100 saving on them?
Also, being realistic, I think I'll be looking at selling my car about a year from now. Should I go with these OEM parts or are there any good more affordable aftermarket parts out there?
Looking forward to reading your comments.
Thanks!
