Brakes

Anyone know anything about brakes? I am going to purchase the Stop Tech stage 2 upgrade kit (front and rear) this week and will need help installing. Includes rotors, pads and SS lines.

I did the same kit on mine several months ago, it's not too difficult. It is a bit messy and you'll need to have a second person available to help bleed the brakes when your done.

Hold a tech session this weekend, I'll help out.

You should cut off the dust shield on the rear rotors while you are at it. I did this just last night. It will greatly reduce their temperature, with no real downside. Oh yeah, make sure the e-brake is off or that rotor won't come off.

It's funny you say that cuz that's one of the ways to make the rear H&R spacer installation easier.
