stew on this for a while. how much money does Honda invest in research and development on the brakes that go on Honda cars? how much money does pepboys invest on research and development on teh brakes that go on Honda cars?
$140 isn't a bad price. at the dealership i work at, it is 2.5 hours labor per axle at $85 an hour. plus parts.
