A few years back I did the swap with GM parts except for the caliper brackets (brackets in which the cradle mounts) from guldstrand for $99. Kar Parts had nice rebuilt calipers for $140. Rotors were about $90 a piece, or $180 for the pair at pep boys. PFC pads $75. I believe the overall project cost $700+ more closer to $800, maybe over.
There are also "small parts" that are critical, like bolts, clips, gaskets, hoses, retainers and pins also.

Decent "non-made in China" rotors are usually in the $90.00-$100.00 ea. range.
You will also need new seals,outer bearings,brake hoses, and the special bolts that attach the cliper carrier to the adapter bracket.
Decent brake pads are also usually in the $100.00 per set range.
some brake pad installation clips,pins,and springs (hardware kit) will also be required.
As I have learned,all of these little things add up.

Also, there are 2 sets of 1LE brakes on eBay right now, they were still reasonably priced when I looked at them yesterday... brackets and all.
FWIW, I bought the Autozone 1LE front calipers for @ $135, returned my "cores" and got $55 back, so it was $80 for the PAIR!! One looks NEW and the other is defintiely rebuilt.
If you need calipers cheap, go there.
If you need rotors, I got mine from and eBay seller whose I.D. is mikebo. Highly recommended, he has a lot of parts. I scored mine for $61 for the PAIR!! Look him up. By the way, these were Wagner/Bendix rotors so you can trust the name.
