Rough Estimate for new pads & rotors
#2
I realized last weekend when I had all 4 rims off on on my truck numerous times that my rotors are all warped (dam ceramic brakes)
Today I plan on ordering all new Rotors and Brake Pads, I'll let you know later tonight the exact price, but I dont see why all 4 Rotors and Brakes should be any more than $300.00, as for installation thats cake, maybe a 1 hour job total

You can do this yourself for less than $500.00. I just purchased 4 zinc coated/dimpled/slotted rotors from Rotorpros $300 shipped and Hawk Performance Pads from Summit front and rear for $150. This setup looks great and stops way better than the stock setup.
Oh and what ever you, DO NOT USE CERAMIC PADS. In less than 3,000 miles they warped the rotors on my Lighting and my 4Runner. They are not rotor friendly at all!!!!

Fade2Black has some slightly used Carbotech pads/Rotopros slotted rotars for sale at a good price!

As far as brake jobs, I replaced all for $350 in parts for oem equivalent brake performance.

I stand corrected and make this revision, my Rotors are $@#^*@ ,
With only 17 K on it all 4 have grooves, gouges, lines, heat cracks, pot holes, you name it....
And the question was how much "for all stock stuff"
AS Uncle Mole just said, it can be done for 350.00

You will be happy with that setup, Rob ... I run the HAWK pads on the
rear ... unfortunately they don't make the HP Plus in the stock
configuration, so I am stuck with the HPS Street material. Oh Well...
