Default Replacing rear brake pads on LR Focus

Ford have quoted me $340 for this job. Given that parts and labour to have the front pads plus rotors replaced cost me about $380 a year ago, this sounds a bit steep.

Anyone else had this done and mind sharing a price paid? For normal commuting, etc are Ford pads on the rear as good as any?

Thanks,

MK

dude i dont no if that is a good price but it beats my ford dealer by a hell of a lot lol.

i was priced for two front pads and a light machine on the front disks
$800 no joke.

i almost died at this price. went to midas and got it all done for $300.

Hope this helps in some way, Cheers

Penko, yours should be different as yours is the LS and i THINK they have bigger wheels and what not. as the LR is a tad bit on the old side and im not sure why that are that price.

I do know that read discs are around $40 or 50 from Ford, it was cheaper for new ones than to machine my original ones!!! That's on an LR too!!

For the fronts, just shop around a couple of Dealers.
