You don't provide enough info to give a worthwhile answer. Here is why I say this,
If you have a vehicle with drum brakes in the rear as compared to disc brakes in the rear the hardware required to do a decent job is very different and will cost more.
If for example, the vehicle has had previous brake work done and the rotors need to be resurfaced again , it could require rotor replacement.
I can tell you this, I have always received better longevity from Ford's brake parts than other aftermarket parts. They may cost a few dollars more, but you will get the right parts and usually better quality. If you don't mind doing the work again sooner, you can certainly buy the cheaper quality stuff. This may not answer your question, hopefully, it can save you some $$$ in the long run. Just out of curiosity, have you ever done any
brake work in the past?
