Default Do it Yourself or Get it done?

I need to get my brakes done (front and rear disc). i was thinking about doing it myself, but if i get the parts, its gonna run me about 100 bucks for the ceramic. plust about 15 bucks per rotor to get them machined

how much is a brake job on average? and considering the fact that i have to haul my rotors to a machine shop etc. etc. is it better to just get it done or do it myself?

Dude, just replace the rotors.

Machining is gay as fuck. plus you can get new ones for like 20-25 dollars.
