Wow Sam that an awsome price. You better hold on to there card. I
called every place in town before I did mine. The best price I
could get was $250, that was just the front, and does not include new
rotors.
Down here the rotors are $95 each, at either NAPA or Dodge. The
stock pads run another $90. Dodge has them for $98.
I did my own, I bought non-metalic pads (less than $20) and had the
rotors turned, $7 each, a can of wheel bearing greese $3, and about 2
hrs of my time. Great price, messy job.
Now a disclaimer is in order here. The non-metalic pads do not stop
as good as stock pads (metalic). And you mostly notice it when they
get good and wet. I am going to replace my brake lines with steel
and see if that improves the effort any. I will probably stick with
these types of pads because I am tired of my rotors warping.
