Check out Adams Rotors. Everything is built to order and you can choose whatever options you want. Pretty inexpensive as well. For my car it was roughly $500 for front and rear.

So I talked to AM again and now they are quoting me $2200 for the rotors and pads not including labour. WTF!?!?

how many miles did it go untill they needed to be swapped?
Do you need to swap the rotors? or just want to or does the service call for it also

25,000 miles and I don't need to swap the rotors but I feel that they should be swapped.

Holy F! I'd be tempted to bring it to a higher end shop and have them do it. $2200 for rotors/pads? I mean sh.t pads are pads rotors are rotors. Sure AM are bigger and better quality for sure, but the difference is like $1800!!!!
Then factor in some crazy dealership hourly rate.

you can most likely save a LOT of $ installing your own rotors and pads.
just look up the FSM for the torque specs and you'll be fine.buziness....for the businessman.
