Changing brakes

I will need to change the brakes very soon...

I've got a 2001 Protege LX 2.0, so I've got two discs and calipers..


How much should I expect to pay because I have a feeling that I might've gotten ripped off first time.


Is there any other discs besides the Mazda OEM ones that I could maybe order?


Thanks for the answers...

I'm running these on my P5 and I think they're excellent. I never hear a squeak out of them, see any dust on the calipers or rims, and they have great stopping power. Besides, they're not very expensive either ...

P.S. I'm not sure if those will fit since their site only listed 02-03 Protege LX and yours is 01 but I imagine it may have been a type on their site.

Heh, I just read your post again and realized you were talking about discs. My bad ...

But if you need new pads, give the Posi-Quiets a shot.

Damn, I should've asked about this earlier... thanks for the suggestion KrayzieFox and I'm definetely going to maybe buy a pair of those for later...

For now I can't stand the sqeaking no more, gotta go in tomorrow morning to get the brakes changed... just a local brake shop, no more dealership BS for me

When I did mine I just went with a set of those Posi-Quiets all around and had a shop machine the rotors to even out any warping. After that they worked better than when the car was new and they're still performing awesome after almost 10k miles.
