There should be no way those pads and rotors exchange. And while I don't know the cost of living in california, having a garage or dealership do your brakes is expensive. Shops usually charge somewhere between 80 to 150 or 160 dollars an hour, plus parts. If you want to try to save some money, see if your mechanic will let you bring in your own parts, but you'll still have to pay labor. Or see if you can give a friend or a friends' friend, a twelve pack and 20 bucks to do your brakes.

go to the nearest auto supply store and ask the parts counter dude all the questions you have about your ride --- those guys will give the best advice and they like to help and they have good knowledge of cars and the repair prices ... and you are on the right track because some mechanics will over-charge women... good luck and do not be shy about a trip to the auto supply .. some parts are interchangable but it is rare....

Girl to Girl No don't put those pads on that car! Brake pads are not that expensive, put what the car calls for on it! Check with your local car shop and ASK around to friends, neighbors or relatives see who they use for their cars maintenance. Good Luck!!

I wouldn't try it. And I don't know the answer to your other question, but a good way to find out is to call other shops and get estimates from them.
