Expect to Pay 400-600 depending on age and rotors etc.. I think if you PM Muggz he might have some for sale

Master cylinder wont NEED to be changed, but you get alot more free travel if you don't.
ie, the brakes don't start to work til the pedal is closer to the floor.

dont worry about changing the mc. i did it on my 94. chucked on some braided lines and a master cylinder brace and the pedal had awesome feedback. little travel.
