Anyone have experience following a complete loss of brakes.
Pads wore out, overheated fluid (Dot 400) and blued the discs.
Lotus repairs include:
New racing pads, new discs, new fluid RF600, new master cylinder, caliper rebuild (all new seals) and just learned ABS unit fried, because even after all work and bleeding of fluid, pedal was going to carpet. Therefore new ABS unit swap mandatory.
Total repair cost - 6500$ CDN.
Am I getting screwed and how could I cross check if Lotus is just slamming me? I've read a lot about people boiling their brakes and no one seems to have had this kind of extensive work done. (or at least admitted to it)
340$ of cost is for powder-coating calipers. (includes labor in total cost)
