Wow, those are some prices! $3600 for the four steel rotors, $2200 for four pads. I did some quick research and it's easy to beat those dealer prices.
Even with those parts prices, that estimate of $9600 for the job would imply $3800 for labor, or at a shop rate of $150/hr that means the dealer claims that it will take 25 hours to do the job. Am I missing something or is this dealer nuts?

Thinks like this would make me want to bail out on using that particular dealer. It just seems way too high. The parts are about 5800$, and that is high, you could probably get 30% off of that from another dealer. It shouldn't that them more than 2 hours I wouldn't think, but who knows how much they are allowed to charge for the brake job labor.
Hi guy, we are a company from Slovenia (EU) and we do refurbishment, repairs and upgrades on CCB.
A lot of our clients do complain that if they change from steel to CCB they "shake". What are your experience with that?
I only got the CCB, while they squeak like crazy, they're butter smooth when braking. No vibrations of any kind.
I seem to have an alignment issue because when I turn the wheels squeak.
I'm at 75k and the CCB are at 50% or above according to the dealer.

Well yes, I see so many people have problems with squeaking. In 90 % the cause for that are pads or sometimes could be an alliment issue as you have written here.
You are saying that you are on 50 %, do you feel any difference already?
