The rotors alone can be found for around $1,200.00 each from an on-line dealer and the pad kit is over $500.00. That gets you to around $3,000.00.

The published retail price for factory pads and rotors is over $4,300.00

Aftermarket parts are out there.

Rotor replacement depends on the condition of the surface. If the rotor surface is damaged due to metal-to-metal contact they will need to be replaced. If they are relatively flat you can replace the pads only. You will need to bed the pads into the worn rotors. The breaking effectiveness is less until the new pads wear into the uneven surface of the used rotors.

Surface of rotors are good but he’s saying these are race cars and not regular cars where you only replace brake pads when worn . Need to replace both when pads need to be replaced because they are slotted rotors and brembo breaks .

Here is a page from my 2020 factory service manual. The 2023 brakes are slightly different part numbers but the principle applies.

Looks like this kit will fit the Widebody and a lot less than $5,000!

Nope. The wide bodies have 6-piston front brakes.

These are good substitute for my 6 inch brembo brakes ?

Will not work.

I honestly didn’t even pay attention to the brakes when I bought mine. Just made sure they worked lol. I didn’t realize they all didn’t come with 6 pistons #facepalm

6 piston is standard for wide body and optional for narrow body Scat Pack.

The Brembo pads make a LOT of dust. This suggests a somewhat soft compound that would be more kind to the rotors. If that observation is correct I'd much rather wash the wheels more often than buy ~$1,200.00 a pop rotors at every pad change.

🤪 Hardly seems enough.

Did they give you that quote with a straight face?

For what it's worth, those appear to be the factory suggested list prices. At least the dealer did not escalate them like many do.
