That's not too bad for oem parts and labor....

And after market caliper is 100-150$ depending on brand & supplier.
Brake pads vary from 50-80$ aftermarket
Rotors can be from 50$ for white box upwards to 150$ for a brand name one.

And there is no good site that I've found for cheap lexus parts that doesn't screw you over in the shipping department... Everything going into Canada just has to be twice as much to ship for some reason

rockauto sends the wrong part about 50% of the time. Listings are very inaccurate as far as fit too. .

That's a very blanket statement... I've made over 13 orders [a few grand worth] so far, and once a PCV came in wrong [switch over year, mfr. issue], a gasket [made for a chevy. Felpro part number identical with one additional letter], and one washer pump that I thought was faulty but it ended up being my nozzles in the end.

All these were part of big orders and RA rushed all the correct parts out and I had them within 2-3 days... TO CANADA, and not conus which is dirt cheap for shipping.

yeah you're right, that was just my personal experience with them. I tried really hard to like them for a few years, but got tired of returning parts. alot of the parts i was ordering were for a variety 86-95 toyotas, so mb their inventory is less accurate on those models or something.
