I bought performance pads and new slotted rotors for all four corners for about $250. I installed them myself with some PM help from Colin and I am not very mechanical. Don't machine the rotors.....just buy new, better ones.
I find that dealers are pretty competitive for some stuff, such as buying tires or even oil changes. They look at some of these things as loss-loosers as they want you in the shop.
Suspension work is probably better done at a mom and pop place provided they can do alignments.
I just paid a shop today, in fact, to install a new belt. Last time I did it, it took me 4 hours and a lot of busted knuckels. No more....shop charged me $125 including the belt. Best money I could spend. The blower makes the change a bit harder and the dam belt cost nearly $50 anyway.
However, $199 is probably about right for NJ. I was quotted $150 by a few places in WI.
