do em yourself!! its fun! Heres my tutorial which I recently wrote up: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...hreadid=117244

I just bought pads cause I needed a quick fix, but if you want a thourough job, you should purchase the following:

Brake pads - $10 - 90 per axle
Shim kit - $50?
Brake lube - $1 per axle
Rotors turned (if needed) - $5/rotor
Brake fluid - $5

Good luck

PS. I used the cheap autozone brake pads and had absolutely no problems with them so far
