Well I just paid about $225 for the front and $225 for the rear break pads and installation. $125 total for parts. The rest was labor. Repair was done by a trusted mechanic. Not a Lexus dealer. But I have to say, I find it pretty expensive. On the other hand, My Lexus IS over ten years old and this is the first set of brakes I have ever put on her. 85,000 miles. So not driven hard. Great car. Just keeps running and running.
