peoples, you should just replace the whole thing, prices will probably be similar once you start buying new parts, and it will perform and look better depending on what you go with

whole new brakes, there'd obviously be a price difference, but new brakes and everything will look alot nicer and perform better, thats what id do at least if i had the money
