do the type R stickers come in.... haha kiddin:D

Anyways after test driving the 240 I noticed the brake pulsates violently, the guy was honest and said it could need new brakes, however would it be brand new rotors and pads etc... or just pads hopefully? how much do rotors cost to install?

If the brakes pulse it could be either ABS or that you need new pads. If the car vibrates while you brake it generally means new rotors. Also, in the future please put the nature of your question in the subject heading, just Question isn't very descriptive.

My brakes pulsed on the test drive too. I replaced the brake pads and it help alot. Under hard braking the brakes pulse abit too (no ABS) so i think my rotors are wraped too, but not enough for me to do anything about it. You can buy replacement rotors for $22 a pop (so $88) from http://www.JCW.com. I dunno how much istall would cost.
