3rd gen 2WD brakes

My 98 needs some new front brakes, and I know the rotors at least need to be turned, cause I've got some obvious warpage.

What can I expect to pay for a brake job on this?
Im not willing to pay the premium the stealer wants to do it, so Im thinking more like Midas, or Olymco, or something like that.

Any suggestions on what route I should take?

I use Brake Check (down here in Texas) to do my brakes. If you don't use the dealer, make sure to go to several shops and compare the prices. Brakes are a good way to get screwed (in my opinion).

BTW- When you get your brakes worked on/replaced, make sure to have the rears adjusted very often. This will keep them aligned properly with the 70/30 scheme. That way, the fronts won't have to work as hard (i.e. heat up under brake application) and warp the rotors.
