96 dodge avenger
needs brakes
are they any different then your average brakes

hello
anybody?

No.
Silly question is why no one is answering.

Have you heard something that would lead you to believe the brakes need special parts?

thats what the mechanic said
maybe he wants to make some $$$

there just normal
thats what I thought

yep brakes are normal. ive changed them.

Even though the car has a Dodge nameplate, it is a Mitsubishi car.
It is made in the US, maybe some of the OEM brake parts are import and that would make them more expensive (50% tariff tax on foreign parts). I would think that their would be aftermarket parts or rebuilt parts that would keep the cost down.
