E350 cost for front brakes?
My 2003 E-350 has 76K on the brakes, mostly highway driving. They still had 60% left back at 60K. Getting a squeal at slow speed braking. What is a fair price for pads and turning the rotors?

I have learned that rotors are never good enough to reuse without cutting.
It is interesting how different people "learn" different things from similar experiences.
I've been driving for more than 50 years and have NEVER cut a rotor that did not have obvious damage......and a outer shoulder does NOT constitute damage.
The exception to that was a Caddy STS that I had. BIG, THICK rotors, not driven hard but they seemed to keep "warping". After the third turning I finally figured out that I was wasting money. New rotors lasted about 60K miles and the second set of pads went on with only a light dressing of the surface. I suspect that it wasn't warping at all but defective material in the original metal composition.
