    How much would it normally cost for both axis?
    Also a mechanic asked me whether I would change the rotor? Should I do that too? How much would it cost normally?

    Most cases rotors don’t need replacing unless you have had like two or three brake pad changes already.

    both. the rotors should be inspected, and only replaced if necessary
