They should carry whatever you need at a much lower cost.

I bought all my stuff on e-bay and spent no more then around 700 and did all the work myself. Pretty easy and took about 8 hours total. I just had trouble with one rear rotor that was stuck. Pretty simple and straight forward. There are several writeups here with nice pics on how to DIY.
Parts needed would be the front pad sensors, pads, and rotors. (Don't forget to upgrade the pads and rotors.
: I ended up getting some crossdrilled brembo rotors and some axxis pads.)

Seven bills? For brake parts? Pair of front rotors; $120, pair of rears; $80, front pad set; $70, rear pad set; $45, and a pair of front pad sensors; $7. That’s less than half. Did I leave some parts off? Even if I tossed in the e-brake kit; $25, the wheel bearing kit; $50, and a quart of ATE blue or gold; $15, I'd still be under four and a quarter.

Sensors were $20 shipped.

Fluid was $20 locally. But can be found on e-bay as well.

I guess my total was around $500. I don't have a good memory.
