Powerstop Z16 Evolution Ceramic Pad's
 

Just got off the phone with my local 4Wheelparts about a brake pad and rotor resurface price quote.
I was quoted $349 for front and rear pads ($49 & $47 each) and the difference in price is for install and rotor resurfacing.

Just wanted to check with you guys here if this is a fair price?
I'm just looking for a fair price so if this is not I will continue to shop around.

By the way, what is the average cost of rotor resurfacing? I need something to go by.
Thanks in advance guys/gals!

Bump, anyone?

Thanks!

Well, been surfing the web for answers and I've come to the conclusion that I should be paying no more than $300 for the above said job.

Looks like I will just buy the pads from then and get them installed elsewhere.

P.s. All the reviews I've read about these pads have been pretty good.
Just another option out there for those looking for brake pads in this price range!

If you have a rachet set and a c clamp, then changing the pads isn't a hard job at all. The first time I did mine about 6 months ago, I read the overview in the Haynes manual and was able to finish all 4 wheels in about 1 hour. That price does seem a little high, so I would search around and find a better one. For the rotor resurfacing, I don't know the exact numbers but I think Auto Zone can do it pretty cheap. And depending on the condition of the rotors, you may just be better of getting new ones.

Just did mine today, $108 for Wagner Thermoquiet. I guess if you can afford to pay someone to do it, but I opted to save a few hundred bucks. It's fairly easy, hardest part for me was finding a jack to get it off the ground. :lol:

I just ordered powerstop front rotors and Z 16 evolution ceramic pads for my 98 F-150.
Delivered to my door for $216. I have in the past machined rotors but found that they will warp again very soon. Cost of rotors has come down so much that it's just easier to get new ones, but if you need to turn them AutoZone, O'Reillys, and other auto parts stores charge about $30 for the pair. If you decide to do this for the first time it's not that hard a job, and if you look on YouTube they have some very good step-by-step videos

This time it will be a full overhaul of the front brakes replacing brake hoses, rebuilding calibers, and new hardware as the truck now is at 180,000 miles.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

I might just tackle the job. I'm not completely mechanically inclined as I've done basic stuff on my past truck that included spark plugs/wires, headers, 02 sensors, fuel filter and added a superchip piggy back on the computer brain.
I know this isn't exactly certified mechanic stuff but maybe it's enough to give me the confidence to tackle brakes and rotors?

Lavinder, thanks for the YouTube advice. Very good idea for sure!
