What's up everyone. I have to get some new rotors and brake pads. I'm thinking about doing it myself any suggestions on which brand to get? I saw some videos on replacing them, it seems very easy anyone have any experience on doing it.

Go to rockauto.com...I bought a full set of Power Stop rotors (drilled and slotted) and brake pads for less than $350, and they look/feel great.

I had some difficulty with mine, simply because they were on so long...I changed them at around 161k miles.

Also search for the thread I started about them.

Antonio

Thanks, I was looking at the power Stop rotors. Hopefully when I get my taxes I can get them fix. I just want to learn to do them myself. Anyone else needing theres done? or willing to show me how to do them? Beer is on me.

I am sure someone up there can help out, but I hope your not the type of guy who can't direction from a woman,

Antonio

9krpmrx8, I don't mind at all taking directions from a woman. As long as someone is willing to teach me I can learn from anyone. (plus a woman usually holds your attention longer)

Good, because other than Teamrx8, I'm pretty much your only hope now in this area...lol...I will be honest though...You're much better off with Team on this...He will thoroughly clean and repair as he goes...We spent a good 6 hours on mine just fixing every problem that came up.

I tell you when it rains it pours. Anyone ever have their power steering go out?

shadycrew31

iTrader: (6)

Better question would be.

Anyone not have their power steering go out before?

Search young padawon.

Antonio

Lol, I searched and found the fix thank you young master.

Had a compression test today. 7.1's all the way. Town North says it's dying.

All engines/cars are dying the minute you start them up...

If you don't premix you should start. You can add 6 or so months to your engines lifespan by doing so.

Bullitt

K, thanks, shady.

No worries, as a side note my engine pulled an average of 7.3 before I went on my cross country drive and installed my turbo. Granted its dying now but that was 7 months ago .

Bullitt

iTrader: (7)

Good news, I guess, but I need it to go two years.

You will be lucky to get a year out of that with premixing and proper maintenance.

I'm thinking Group buy on new motors. Mine still good (for now). I got the title in hand at this point and I think I'm probably going to go kinda crazy when the warranty is up in 7K miles.
