All the pads + all the discs (rotors) + all the calipers. Materials - £500 (US$800) + 5 hours labour. Going by what your mechanic said, he probably meant the pads are down to 25%. I would not expect the discs (rotors) to need replacing before say 120k miles. And the calipers should also be fine. My point was the "replace all brakes" is very ambiguous, and it's worth narrowing down what you intend to do. -- Grunff
