I just did power stop z26 rotors, pads and braided lines. Parts and labor was 800. They look great and the car stops. Can’t complain. You’ll have half your 1500 budget leftover too.

It's more like a 1/4 leftover after USD/CAD conversion. Math is hard.

Gamble, OEM or aftermarket blanks won't break the bank. Research pads and you'll be able to figure out an upgrade easily enough that isn't a huge mark up over OEM pads. The rest is just labor costs. $1500 CAD should be well more than enough to make this happen.

Let's see... $300 USD for rotors, $200 for pads, $300 for labor... converted to CAD is probably around $1000. Plenty there in your budget to get some nicer rotors, or maybe a set of SS lines.

I used to order rotors from Rockauto, but with the shipping pricing has gone up a lot in the past year or so, I looked to other sources. Z1 rotors ended up being the best value for money. Even after shipping/duties.
Pads, you can get Hawk pads from TougeTuning with free shipping.
