I just dropped off my 97 2.5 TL to get the rear brake pads put on. I was told that it needs new rear calipers, rear rotors, and rear pads. My mechanic told me that the calipers will cost $120 each and they want $500 for the whole job (i supplied the pads). I trust this guy but just wanted to double check. Do these prices seem reasonable for parts and labor?

 

i got brand new rotors and pads last year for 345... but they are slotted rotors and that is not with new calipers and i did the labor myself... so that sounds about right...

 

I haven't done it on my TL yet, but on my Accord:

$150/pair Brembo Drilled (real warrantied ones not drilled Brembo blanks)
$25/pair Axxis Ultimate Pads
$50 Install
$225 Total.

List price was double on the rotors and pads, and three times the labour cost. Had to get drilled because they were out of stock on slotted...

~Cheers~

 

i did rotara slotted rotor and AEM pads combination...
