Slip & Slide time

i know the topic of brake pads and rotors has become repetitive, but i would like some replies on what you think of the prices i found

Raybestos QS Ceramic front pads - $43.79 each set
Raybestos QS Ceramic rear Pads - $32.89

Brembo Plain front disks - $56.37 each rotor
Mountain Plain Rear disks - $46.32

this will total $358.74
Acura wants over $600 for parts
and the previous cheap local parts i got have been squealing since day 1

what do you think is $360 too much for a complete brake job or not?
i haven't encountered this before so i am a little skeptical...

thanks in advance...

p.s. - since holidays are draining my wallet, is it a good idea to change only the front components to reduce squeal and then replace the rear when weather clears.

Seems good I guess...
Les Schwab wants about $180 just to replace my front pads. $80 is for labor. I think that's too much.

I Think Up Gradeing Ur Brake System Is Good, Brembo Is What I Use, I Have The Slot & Drill Type Which I Paid $250.00 For. I Think Its Better Then Factories..

They got a good price on brembo blanks. They had good service the last time I ordered brakes but its been a while. I don't know if after shipping it will be more or less then your price but I figured I'd post the link.

i have also used x-drilled rotors....they were KVR rotors. i was VERY happy with them. and one set lasted me five years before i replaced them with same ones. i was looking to get them for this car sometime as well. they are more expensive than brembo i think but they are also cadmium dipped to help prevent rusting out. check'm out: www.kvrperformance.com
