16,000km's (10k-miles) seems REALLY early.
Forget doing this job. The car is under warranty and the dealer will replace the needed parts without charge. I am sure the US has the same "wear and tear" warranty that my Canadian warranty included. In Canada that was 24 months or 40,000kms (25,000 miles) and you're well within that. Even without the SBC, why would anyone pay for new pads and install them when the dealer is responsible under the warranty for the job.
Get thee to thee dealer, pronto.

car already serviced, they billed me $240. No mention of warrenty was issued. I need to take it up with the local district rep.
