for a nissan 350 sports car on brembos 400$. for a range rover on brembos 1500. honda brakes and rotors instal 50$. chevy 80$. this IS from experience and numbers/estimates are 100% true. so i ended up doing my cars myself. if you dont want to get completely ripped off call a the shop of choice and ask the hourly wage to work on the brakes of a honda, then TELL them to install your brembos for that hourly wage (60$ for the hour) and watch them do it in 35 mins.
any one with experience with legos can istall new rotors and pads in an hour. all cars are similar, as is bottled water. dont give @$$h0les 3$ for water when its 30cents at the market. and dont give 500$ to $h!t mechanics for a 50$ brake job. duh.

My shop charges around $325 for a standard brake job but I think the Brembos would probably be more expensive.

it's just like anything else.. if you can afford big nice wheels they charge you hella money for low pro z rated tires.. less rubber, more money. if you can afford a car that has brembo brakes and don't replace them yourself, you can probably afford to pay someone else a few hundred to do it. all businesses will try to increase bottom line when they can

Even with the bleeder vacuum thing it seems like a pain.......
