god damnit the people at meineke said i only have like 5-10% left on the pads in the front, thats probably why im squeeking, but before i bought my car peo-le had wierd stuff on the brakes that dont fit right, now its going to cost me $617 to get brakes and shoes and rotors and everything like that grrr
do it urself! a complete front job would cost 250 at the most!
75 rotors
75 new calipers
20 pads
DO IT URSELF!!!!

man...
Well, brakes are expensive on any car. That includes our wonderful Honda Accords. Go figure. This car was sold as an economy car and the parts are pretty expensive.
As for the brakes, you can settle on some cheap aftermarkets brake elements. I saw someone advertise front brake pads & discs for $40.00 on Ebay. If you want to go with the factory stuff, which I recommend (currently have aftermarket brakes and will never ever purchase them again, complete crap).
Front Discs $60 (Each)
Front Pads $55 (Front Axle Set)
Rear Shoes $45 (Rear Axle Set)
Rear Drms $68 (Each)
I wouldn't worry about the rear drums too much. I usually get wear to sets of front brake pads before I have to change the shoes. If you want a quick fix, just install the front brake elements. They do the majority of the work anyways. By the way, let's hear the story about you owing your father $400.00. Brakes are not that difficult, just get yourself a Haynes or Chilton manual and take your time.
