There can be a wide range. Pads for four wheels can range from around $30 to close to $200. Rotors can range from around $30 to $150 each. Doing the job yourself requires few tools and can be far less expensive than a shop. For example, the full break job on a 1997 Ford Explorer is $43.00 for pads, and $125.00 for rotors, and a couple bucks more for lube. So, you can replace the pads and rotors yourself for under $175.00, or you can pay someone $400.00 or more. Once you've done the job, considering average intelligence and ability with basic tools, you should be able to complete the tast in an hour or less.

Brake pulsation New hubs and Rotors?
I don't know if you are saying you have the new hubs and rotors and still have pulsation, or if you are asking what causes pulsation. If you have pulsation on slowing this is due to warped rotors, and you need to change the rotors and the brake pads, not the hubs.
