    What's a good price for gxp brakes. Looking to buy some but not sure what they're worth and don't want to way over pay for them. Tried searching but couldn't find anything with a price.

    Get brakes from a Buick Allure "Lacross Super", they are the same size as the GXP's, just not drilled and slotted. Which IMO is better, because over time rust builds up in the holes and can make squealing noise's.

    When I was looking I found the Bonneville GXP rotors were the same size and not drilled. They were also a lot cheaper than the buick ones. They are slightly higher than the GP GXP. Prices based on what I found at autozone and advance auto, you may find something cheaper.

    Gxp rotors are cast with holes not drilled and if anything the opposite of squealing will happen. That all depends on what pad you run.

    Guess I should have been a little more clear. I was talking about the calipers for front and rear. I was thinking along the lines of $300 as well so that's a good price. Trying to get me a set of them used.
