I replaced the front pads over the weekend. Nothing too out of the ordinary, I guess. The pads cost ~$36.00. Something of note... there were self adhesive metal shims to put on the backsides of the pads. Peel and stick. Perhaps you have seen this before, but it was new to me
Overall, I guess the uneveness in wear wasn't too alarming, and I probably could have gone a bit farther on the pads. Better safe than sorry. Pads are a whole lot cheaper to replace than damaged rotors.
The whole job took less than 45 minutes and now I feel a better knowing that everything is new.
