if you pay a dealer to do it.. your spending a few hundred on labor. if you have a garage to work in then you really should consider spending 200 on nice craftsman hand tools, breaker bar, torque wrenches, etc etc... and try it out yourself. Disc brake pads are sooooo easy to change, the first try will take an 30-60minutes/wheel, after that, its possible to do it in 8 minutes per wheel (ive timed). also, you'll then be able to do lots of maintenence on your car yourself. there are websites online with how-to's (and pictures) explainind the process... none specifically for the 9-5, but your can use those sites as the components all look very similar... you'll never get ripped of paying 72 dollars an hour:)

if you dont have a garage, well then dont worry about what I just wrote:)
