Re: Need a little help with the brakes here
Hooligan is right. If you mom has only about 40K on the car the rear brakes (drum or disk) should be good as gold. The front brakes do 80% of the braking. The rears should last 100,000 miles or more. If hers are shot, there's something wrong with the braking system or she's riding the brakes big time.
The braking system is probably the most important part of the car, don't be cheap with you mom life. If she's wearing them down that fast, go for the best you can afford.
No insult intended, this is not a time so save money.
