brakes need replacement

[gr8hunter1 at comcast.net (Jacob Hawes)]

I found a possible buyer the "the... ford" and if all goes well I will 
be driving the rocco. Before I start driving it regularly though, it 
needs new brakes. The current ones are mushy and simply need to be 
replaced. The question is what all should I replace and with what brand? 
I am on a limited budget and this is not a performance car by any means.

I figure I could just replace the pads on all four wheels and that would 
do it but I learned most of my car maintenance from my dad who is cheap 
and hasn't taken care of a car in years. Well that is with the exception 
of reading what you guys say, but there is only so much you can learn 
from reading.
