    brakes are so easy to do. go to your favorite part store, get some nice pads and toss them on. my part store will turn rotors for $10 each.

    I just put a set a Raybesto Ceramics on, they weere on Sale 25% off paid 48.00 just for pads. All I did was slid the two pins off pushed the calipers back and put new ones on.

    Those pins were a bitch though to slide off. If they slide right out, whole job will take 15 mins.

    Those Raybestos ceramic pads are very good IMO. I've sold many sets in my parts dept. and have had no complaints.

    Do it yourself! It's really easy with some basic hand tools and a good jack. I can do the fronts in a hour (That includes taking the wheels off, cleaning everything and replacing the pads and putting it back together). I just buy ceramic pads or OEM Pads from the dealer and some anti squeek stuff for the shims. Drums are little more work but not bad either.
