Default Good Price to Replace Brakes and Rotors?

What's a good (cheap) price range to shop around to get my brakes and rotors replaced? I don't need anything fancy.

98 Accord EX 6 Cyl

Thanks!

Do it yourself. Fun weekend project. Read this site and look at the FAQ's for pictured instructions. Go over it a couple of times until you grasp the concept. I just started doing my own work on my car about 3 months ago. Don't be scared.

do it yourself. its not hard at all. it will prolly b around $40 per rotor, if that. 20 bucks for pads. thats 100 bucks, thats about 1/3rd of what a shop will charge you

the hardest part when i did it was geting the bolts out that hold the rotor to the hub. they were coroded pretty bad. the head of the bolt is a #3 phillips head. I felt it was a flunky design because they striped out even with the right tool. use some pb blaster and let it set for a min. other then that it is really simple.
