There is no difference between brakes and rotors because the rotor is just one of the many parts that make up a brake. The function of a brake rotor is to stop the wheels from spinning. The rotor is what the brake clamps hold on to stop the car.

How much does it cost to replace the brakes on a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire?

Disk brake pads are usually somewhere between $15 and $30, depending on the vehicle. If you can do it yourself and you don't need calipers or rotors it shouldn't be too expensive. Most vehicles require new rotors when you replace the brakes, in fact, many mechanics won't even replace brakes without replacing the rotors. In years past you could resurface the rotors but that is less common now. Unfortunately, many shops were resurfacing rotors that were already too thin, and many vehicle manufacturers are now using rotors that cannot be resurfaced. Rotors typically cost between $30 and $60, and can go much higher for European vehicles and trucks or SUV's.
