When I hit 100,000 miles I did a full brake job myself using OE pieces.
Sure it was costly but look at the use I got out of the OE parts:
Front and rear rotors - 100,000 miles
Rear pads - 100,000 miles
Front pad - 50,000 miles
I also did my front hub bearings at the same time. The drivers side bearing was starting to self destruct at 100,000 miles. The passenger side bearing was OK, but the change was painless.
Ready for another 100,000 miles.....

Rear Pad Price?!
Just picked up my rear pads from the Dealer, $127+tax. Had parts guy double check seems too cheap, but it's the right price. Same on parts.com.
Interesting note, sames pads on a GL and ML. But the rotors are different and 3x the costs.
