HK$440 (US$56) and HK$280 (US$36): are these prices for the rotors or the pads. If it's the rotors they are cheap anywhere!!

I am thinking about it. Depends if they are totally plug & play. I use my car as a daily driver and live in the countryside so car tinkering has to be done by me or my mechanic when I'm away on business trips.
HK$1,363 (US$176) - that's not a bad price even for US rates - I've been thinking in the US$150 to US$200 range.

Thanks for that too - looks like Steve, myself and my credit card I will soon become acquainted.

If you happen to have come across any other info in HK feel free to let me know. I've found almost nothing. I travel to Australia (Sydney), China (Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Wuhan, Tianjin etc) every few months but never came across much of interest SL-wise.
