alright, I am out of school at 1pm I think, so, I will prolly be at my place by 1:30 latest....

I can get the car in the air and get the tires off of it, then I'll hit the pinch and the upper nut w/ some PB plaster, and it should be all sorts of ready by the time you are out of school and make it to my place....

what time are you out on friday?

Right around two, maybe later if I have to take care of yearbook stuff. I should be able to get over there by 3:00 though.

yeah dude, whenever you get your pads I am down for an install, this time we should take pics and prolly do a little DIY on the piston spinning, just cuz I still haven't seen any good pics of the tool in action

do you just need pads or rotors 2?...my rotors were toast, not even worth machining, the rotor takes all of another 2 minutes on either side, I think the OEM rotors are super cheap, so that might be an idea

order your pads!

Ordering the pads now...

Do you think I'll need to replace the rotors even if there are still a couple mm's of pad left? I only replaced my fronts because the pad backing was actually scraping on the rotor, so I don't know when they need to replaced really.

mine were original at 120k and they looked like they had been machined a few times, plus they were rusted to the hubs...lol

I had to hit them with a hammer to get'em off....

if they don't look too bad, then just worry about the pads....when we do the pads I'll take a look at your rotors....they'll prolly be borderline if they have never been changed
