My mustang is in need of a pretty much a whole new front braking system. Whats a reasonable price to pay for new break pads, calipers, and rotors including labor costs? I normally try to do things myself if I can but I'm pretty much a novice and I don't want to do something wrong and get stuck with my car sitting on jack stands

paid 179 for brakes rotors and calibers on e-bay it was on sale from a brake company great deal and great product

Did you put them in yourself? Or have it done by some place?

Just take the pads out of the caliper, you can try pinching off the brake lines near the calipers with pressure pliers so you don't loose too much fluid and don't get too much air, take off the bolt holding the brake line to the caliper then two caliper to bracket bolts (I believe they were 18mm but I may be wrong), two allen bolts to replace the caliper on the bracket and whamo. Lol. Just don't forget to bleed your brakes after.

I have a haynes manual sround somewhere. I think that should be able to get me through it

Yeah it isn't hard. Lets see... labor at the dealership would pay me 1.5 for brake job then 1.0 to replace both calipers with brake job and bleed system. They charge 130 bucks an hour... so u do the math. Don't forget parts and taxes. Do it yourself for under 200. Way better. Lol.
