    New Brakes

    I need new brakes all around. I put R1 Concept rotors, calipers and pads on a few years ago and after 12k miles two calipers have failed and I need to do it again.
    Anyone go to Pep Boys or Midas or any other similar corporate behemoth for brakes. I like the idea of having a warranty.

    Suggestions are appreciated!

    Granted I havn't done this with the VX, I have only had about a month, but before I learned how to do brakes I used to use Midas for brakes all the time. Never had an issue with them, though I never had to use the warrenty as the work and products were solid. Now that I know how to do brakes (it was much simpler than I thought) I have only used them for my wife's car, which is not yet paid off. The warrenty really gives me piece of mind on that vehicle, especially since the warrenty is transferable and she is thinking of trading it in.

    Out here you wouldn't let Midas work on your wheel barrow, they are that bad.
