There is no really cheap way to rebuild the brakes. Do it all yourself. Buy rebuild parts and rebuild your own calipers etc. The pads are available from Porterfield and the rest of the parts are avilable from the vendors. Call around. The flexible hoses can be make from generic brake parts but you may need to re-flare the ends. Turning the rotors is easy. Getting them off the car is hard especially the rears. Can you post your estimate?
