This is for my Fiancee's 1998 Celica GT Convertable.

Can anyone reccomend a cheap place to get new rotors and pads?
Best I've found so far is $53.19 per rotor front (brembo) and $39.39 Per rotor rear.

Pads run $48.68 front and $40.08 rear

Dude, that sounds pretty cheap to me! Especially for Brembos (I'm assuming that's just the plain old regular rotor?) In my opinion you gotta stick with a name brand cause you don't always get what you pay for when it comes to brakes.

Back when I owned my TRD Solara, these guys were the best.

If they don't list your part, call them.

They only have parts going back to 2001. The 98 is the old "4 eye" version of the Celica.

I got the cheapest brake pads at Advance auto zone or autozone called wearever. I put Wearever gold on the front and wearever silver on the back... they have excellent stopping power and excellent life. the rear cost me $15.00 and the front clost me $25.00. I still have them now and couldn't be happier... well except for the fact that every 2 weeks i need to wash off all that brake dust.

well, that is about the cheapest you can get besides going to a junkyard and ripping them off a celica.. this is pretty good...
