I paid $140 at a local speed shop in the good ol burbs of Chicago. Thats fronts and rears ON the sport brakes lol.... They did good work however.... the vendors sent me the wrong damn parts.... so technically I paid $140 for them to do the job... twice lol....

People will quote you high bc the kind of car it is... When I was calling around asking, "How much to change brakes on my Z," I was getting crazy quotes.... When I asked what their hourly labor rate is?? Then followed with asking how long does it typically take per axle to change brakes.. I was getting SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper "quotes" lol..... I guess people hear sports car and wana bend you over right away...

ps.... Ive installed brakes 100 times on many cars, however the older I get, the more valuable my time becomes as well... So ill save you the " do it yourself brah! way cheaper! grab a sixer and enjoy the feeling of working on your car" bc I definitely understand not wanting to do it urself..... just my .02
