Pair of brembo replacements is 200ish pads hawks like 80 rears just use centric rotors and hawk pads it should be under 600 to do all 4 yourself this car is pretty easy to do.
Pros: easy to install, cost effective
I went with Paragon pads and rotors for 1750 out the door. I did diy but I remember the parts being less than what the dealer quoted for the oem brembos.
Pros: less than OEM cost
on stock caliper, I recommend these
Girodisc Front rotors
OEM rear rotors
EBC Yellow pad front, rear
SRF Castrol DOT4 brake fluid.
Pros: recommended parts
The Cherokee Trailhawk has “lifetime brakes”, I sold mine at 100k miles and still had the original pads and rotors with about ton of life left.
Pros: long brake life
Vehicle:
Jeep Cherokee
Mileage: 100000 km
I also have a 2002 LS430, and my last brake job was with PowerStop Z23 pads front and rear plus raybestos rotors. I love this setup. It’s smooth, she stops on a dime and its also clean.
Pros: smooth, stops well, clean

Lexus
My wife has 2014 XT since new and we are at 93k miles all stock brakes including rotors and pads. The only thing changed was brake fluid as part of regular maintenance interval.
Pros: long lasting
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Mileage: 93000 km
I recommend powerstop pads and drilled/slotted rotors. I put about 40-50k miles a year or longer on my car (depends on driving habits too).
Pros: long lasting
Pros: they fit perfectly, offer great performance and are cool enough to work on immediately after driving. Con: they sent the brakes for the electric parking brake when I have the cable parking brake. They have been 0 help in providing the bracket to adapt it to the cable break.
Pros: perfect fit, great performance
Cons: wrong brake type sent
the brakes just didn't like slowing from 140 to 90, even though that's something I regularly do on the highway - it doesn't like it then either, but it was scarier on track. What I mean by "the brakes didn't like it" is that after one or maximum 2 hard brakes, the pedal and steering wheel transmit a horrible vibration everytime I even touch the brakes, and this goes on until I presume the brakes have either cooled off, or the rotors have bent themselves back into shape.
Cons: horrible vibration, scary
Vehicle:
BMW
