If you are buying new rotors, expect to pay about $250-$300 for the pair. The calipers will be anywhere up to $200 for the pair but some people are lucky and get them a lot cheaper (I paid $35 each).

Optional is a re-seal kit for the calipers which is about $100 per caliper if you pay someone to do it.. or about $30 if you do it yourself. If the pistons are shagged then they are $20-$25 each.

I would recommend new brake hoses (about $60 for the pair) and of course new brake fluid.

And finally, pads are up to you, you can pay anywhere from $30 to $400 for a set of brake pads, and this is what ultimately defines how good your brakes are! I would be looking at some quality pads about the $100-$150 mark.

So:

$300 rotors
$200 calipers
$ 60 brake hoses
$ 20 brake fluid
$150 brake pads

And then optional rebuilding of the calipers can be as much as $200 for the pair plus an additional $20-$25 for any piston (there are 8 in total) that is not salvageable.

I would probably budget $1000 for those parts - and depending on your car (if you need a strut conversion or any other bits) then budget a bit more!

Hope this helps.
