My brakes work!!!
Okay, after three days (learning and working and driving to get parts time), my car is back on the ground and I just went through the "bedding in stage" around my neighborhood. I got about 13 confused looks as I was driving around the circle with my hazards on gunning it and braking irradically. But, I didn't die! For my first time attempting/knowing anything about brakes, I think it went well. (Except for the confusion with the ABS sensors and the pad sensors...  ) The Brembos work awesome!!! No more squeeling or rattling (the front ones were warped). Now they smell bad cuz I just broke them in, but I love them. I'm also taking my four old rotors and making four world clocks with them: St Louis, New York, London and Munich. My summer projects are done. Now I just need to get it alligned. Thank you everyone for your help and support.

Amanda, Congrats on getting this done, I bet in hindsight the brakes seem like an easy job now (1st time doing anything usually takes a little longer). Show us how your world clock thing works out. |
