What is so expensive is the labor. Parts (after market) alone for a complete front brake job might be around $90 - $120. Including new pad and rotors. Rear disk brakes with internal parking shoes roughly $120 - $190 for every thing pads, shoes and rotors. Not really too bad. Add $80 to $110 an hour labor and factory parts your are up a creak.

Personally I switched to ceramic pads. No nasty dust and they run cooler thus keeping brake fad from heat to a minimum. They also last a lot longer. In fact I replace the vehicle before the pads. They are a little harder on the rotors than semi metallic but nothing to worry to much about.
