A fair bit.

"Just" linings would be close to $200

A couple hundred for a new german master cylinder

4 off wheel cylinders, what about drums - you expecting new ones there.

IF this what you mean - i reckon you are well over $500 - maybe closer to the grand :(

this is like asking "how long is a peice of string ? "

How long is that piece of string ???

It depends what the shop finds once they pull them apart.

I have an L bug so things are probably quite different - thought it might give ya a bit of an idea though.

I just had 2 new disc rotors and 2 rear drums installed, new pads, shoes, cylinders in the rear and new brake hoses (just rubber ones to the wheels, not lines through the whole car) and it cost me $680 incl labour.

Don't know if that's any help or not.

if your going all new it would cost
around that much if not more
but a lot more safe
