look in collisionstuff.... rear suspension.... brake components......

back left-$46.27
back right-$53.40

+ shipping of course...

and you can leave them off.. just be prepared to not have any parking brake....:-)
since this is what they mount to....lol

whoops..missed that...lol sorry.

same thing collosion area>>> front suspension.>>>>brake components...splash guard...

$35.13 apiece... or you can keep them of.. but you open yourself to getting more debris between the rotor and pads... and if you get your rotors really hot and they get soaked there's always the potential to crack....
