I bought the BrakeMotive pads/rotors - How much should installation cost?
Trying to find a place to install the pads/rotors on my TL-S. How much should installation cost at a garage?

I got quoted $365 at the only place I could find that allowed outside parts installed.

Thoughts?

brakes are one of the easiest things to do.
maybe instead of the 100 dollars and some beer that I charge, I should jack it up to 350!

OK , found a guy that can do it for $127 per axle. That's much more reasonable, IMO.

$127 x 4 = $508

$127 x 2 = $254

so, you're only getting two sides done correct!?

Per axle, a TL has 2 axles right haha.... It would be $254 for all 4 wheels pads/rotors.

^lol that was misleading, hence Justin's confusion. You said $127 per axle (2 fronts), but that doesn't include the rears.

Changing your own brakes are somewhat easy ONCE you get those damn rotor screws off. Those screws are the devil's idea, I tell ya!
