Default front brake pad warning light is on, RR wheel scrapes when braking, front brakes slip

Basically it's sounding like I need a complete brake system overhaul on this thing. I need new pads for the front (light is on and the front brakes have a slipping feeling when going slowly), I need new pads for the rear wheels seeing as how the right one scrapes horribly and the inner pad is gone (along with some nice grooves on the rotor), and my steering wheel shakes violently (especially during braking) as if the rotors are warped. How can I tell if the rotors are warped? And roughly how much will a worst case scenario of 4 sets of brake pads and 4 rotors cost me?

Thanks.

Well I upgraded my brakes when I replaced them. I got the ATE Power Rotors and PBR Metal Masters pads. 344.90 for all four corners. You can probably get oem stuff for cheaper but these made a big difference in brake dust and fade.

Default I paid $60 ea. for my front ATE Power discs...

I forget what I paid for the rear discs, but skidd's price sounds about right.

I just want to know what kind of quattro that is in the snow on your sig picture, skidd <G>
