Default Brakes?

ok so its been a known fact of mine for a while that i need brakes but not having a decent paying job has hindered even regular maintanance and tags on my dak. now that i have a decent paying job again and ive almost got the damn thing back on the road. and registered and insured its time to start fixing/upgrading.

now i was working at brake check making **** pay but i figured with my discount i could afford to do my brakes WRONG!!! i need EVERYTHING literally so i priced the parts with my discount and even with the discount it is insanely high. so anyone know of some sites for some decently priced brake parts?

I need rotors pads and calipers and hoses in the front and drums shoes hardware and cylinders in the rear and eventually a new booster and master and i guess since im there lol i might as well run some new lines (lines are cheap and i can do them myself its the rest of the parts im not crazy about) but everything for the 2wd is expensive anyone got some good sites for decently possibly wholesale priced brake parts (i know thats a repeated question lol)

i looked on ebay and i just dont trust them too much unless you guys can forward me a reputable ebay store/seller then ebay is not an option. anyway let me know i priced one rotor today 161 dollars and thats without a new bearing and i was using my brake check discount (which i no longer have but oreilys dont know that lmao)! i was like HOLY ****!

For most parts even trans filter and gasket you can go to most auto-parts sites. Like http://www.autozone.com which has the rotors for $39. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...Name=Valucraft

Or http://www.oreillyauto.com Or www.napaonline.com

For OEM check out http://www.moparpartsamerica.com/par...?siteid=214583
Or https://www.dodgeparts.com/oe_parts_...e2cf8fa4e8846c

All of these sites are in the FAQ2 in this section.

No if you look at the 2nd autozone site that is specifically for the rotor. It is possible they counter guy didn't do the correct part or a high performance one.

For the control arms the only new option is dealer but it will be $600 or so. Or Junkyard. But if all you need to do is replace the bushings just replace them. They are cheep. Easy to do if you have a press. If not them take it somewhere. Most places will charge $5 per bushing to replace.
