Changing all four brake pads takes about 30 min. You should pay at most one hour of labor to do it.

Do it yourself... it's actually a very easy job.

I believe you may refer to service manual for this as well... although I never checked the brake section of it... lol

what's a good deal on replacing the rotors just to OEM spec ??? Don't need anything better really.

is there an aftermarket option that is better and cheaper than OEM rotors ?

I already have Hawk front pads and OEM rears...

$200 is too much. It should be $60.

here in florida, infiniti charges about ~$94 per labor hour. other people are right, it should be a job less than an hour. My brother and i did my car, pads only front and rear in just over an hour.
