The truth is, if you want to do it yourself and learn, great, but it's going to cost you as much as taking it to a shop if you have zero tools and knowledge. You'll prob spend X4 as much time doing it and fuck it up, but you will learn and own the tools. If you have no desire to learn or own tools/have room to owns tools/work on the car, just take it to an independent shop. It's not for everyone.

Thanks for the offer.
Its not the knowledge part I am worried about, its the tools as you mentioned. I would have to use the spare tire jack and wrench, TQ wrench? just make it tight as I can right? lol jk. Id also have to find a leveled workspace cuz i live in a condo etc.
I only ask because i was quoted 1200 but looking online such as autopartsway.ca
World brake rear right caliper is only $68 , brake pads are 30-60 a set, rotor is 40-300(sports drilled) and a few other miscellaneous such as 'disc brake caliper bracket mounting bolt', 'brake caliper guide pin', which i dont know if i am supposed to buy.
On the quote, it even says 'using aftermarket caliper' because oem is backordered 3-6weeks.
what do? seems like I can get the parts for $300ish but I dont know if the brands on autopartsway are reliable name brands or not.
(my car model is not sport so it is just standard brake. i think sport model came with akebonos or was it brembo)
