i can do simple things like puttin on an exhaust, intake and all that crap but i haven't had the chance to try a hand at installing brakes. thanks

 

As long as you have a manual, you'll be fine.

 

Highly recommend you pick up one of these before you start doing that kind of work.

 

A bottle of water and Sport Compact Car mag??

Alright got those, oh, and I have a Helms manual too. Since I know this always comes up... You can buy them at helminc.com

it should be no problem for ya, it might take u a little longer than someone that has done it a couple times, but the helm, and an afternoon should be fine! The first time i did it, just recently, i had no hand on experience whatsoever, and it took me about 8 hours, but that's cause i painted my calipers as well and waiting for them to dry time in there too, but it was not hard, just several bolts that have to be removed, and don't forget that stop squeal goop, that u put on the back of the shims and a c-clamp, to push the piston back in!

 

i did mine today, took me 2.5 hours replaced all four rotors and installed new AEM brake pads.. came out awesome... not a real difficult job, especially with the helms..

 

Keep us posted on how those pads perform. BTW, did you use replacement rotors?

 

super easy!! Once you get the first one done the other 3 will be super easy. Definitely get a Helms though. Good luck!!

 

So far so good.. i used replacement rotors (cross drilled and slotted..) and the AEM pads.. rotors look good and so far it stops on a dime and makes nine cents change... (then again it always has.. lol)
