This cannot be right. NOT EVEN CLOSE.. I will pull the brake cost for pads only from my Beta tomorrow at work (filed there). Find another dealer? do you have alternatives?

I've always loved true finnish saunas... 
What do you find unacceptable with my avatar?... "relaxing after hard work day in sauna and reading the "rennlist" newspaper"?.. ...If you'll insist, I'll change it to something less creative and more greyish ordinary...but I still really like it, as a lifestyle expression. Can I keep it?... OZRacing

Your dealer apparently charges 1200 for rotors installed?!
FYI. I did Pads only. They wanted to do rotors, I told them let me see them and how much wear... still good at 49K miles (when light came on) and I traded before new rotors or pads again (75K miles approx.) Probably 75% highway driving and I use gears to slow in traffic to save brakes.. B'ham is hilly however so this was the best brake wear I've ever had in any vehicle I've owned.

That sounds awfully cheap.. has something changed in the past couple of years.. I don't remember anyone getting this cheap.. maybe 60 per pad.. I may have to start doing my own!

Welcome to the world of the Cayenne where you get to replace your Rotors along with the Pads at the first brake maintenance.
What more can you expect for an animal that weighs so much?
