Lightbulb Small Questions Thread: Brakes and Suspension

There have been many threads popping up with small questions that really don't need need their own thread. I am making this thread to help remove clutter and to help people get their small questions answered.

RULES:

1) SEARCH BEFORE POSTING

2) Do not post unless you are asking or answering a question

3) If you feel like your reply will need a discussion, you should probably make a thread

Courtesyparts.com is $53.18 for fronts only. You can also get quotes from dealer/vendors in the marketplace. They can sometimes give you great deals.

What's the diff between 03-04 and 05-07 non brembo brake pads on our cars? It's charging me $10 extra for the 05-07..

I've got an 05 sedan and have thought about switching to brembo brakes. Will the 03-04 calipers and rotors work on the later models Gs?

Camber arms? Yes or No?

So i just got the eibach sportline springs which dropped the car F:1.6 inches, R: 1.4 inches, I haven't got an alignment yet, but Ive been hearing an adjustable camber arms and toe kit is good for less tire wear, is this critical for a drop that low? And how much costs am i looking at?
