I just did my front brakes myself. New rotors, pads and calipers were around $170, took me all of a few hours to get them done. I haven't done the rear brakes before...I hear they are a different beast of burden

It's an 01 so it should have rear discs. just as easy as the fronts. Like Kyle mentioned though, if there's a deeper issue (frozen caliper, parking brake assembly, etc.) then it won't be any fun/could cost more.

I had to replace my front left in a casino parking lot on the 4th of July weekend because the caliper seized. It's not fun having to use your ebrake
