sounds like "safeway" but for brakes..heh...I pretty sure we dont have them down here..

I want to go to OHIO now cause of your avatar Irock...its kinda dark...but I like..

 

Good point acidjake75...we could go together once we have fresh brakes...haha

 

So uh...wanna make this a brake meet? I need mine done too. The metal indicator is telling me I need new brake pads.

 

PM'd

Dang Im going to stacked with beer after this wkend..WOOT!

 

Also O'riely's will turn your rotors for ya!

 

Most shops will turn rotors from anywhere $10-15 bucks...def recommend letting the guys maybe turn this into a brake meet and doing them. There's nothing better to turn to another person and ask why they like to waste money and also ask WHY THEY DON'T KNOW how to do something so simple..lol

I just ragged on an ex of mine pretty hard and it left a huge smile on my face...what?!? your current bf doesnt know how to change pads on a "corolla"?!?!...priceless

 

This is just cutting it too close for comfort... Also whoever did his pads before, put them on upside down. If he would have gone another week, he would be buying some new rotors..







Got his new pads in and everything worked like a champ. Now he doesnt have to worry about it anymore & he can go play..



Thanks for some good garage time luke.. I dont seem to get enough of it these days.. If you need anything else.. Let me know..

 

omg thats too much work fo rme,,,

 

i don't know what the deal is, but this seems to be the time when a lot of people's brakes are going out. i'm starting to get the signature vibration from the front and some slight screeching, so i'm thinking it's time for the brakes and rotors to be changed.

jake - i saw that you are digging the Hawk HPS pads...where did you buy yours? are you running OEM rotors? i'm thinking about getting some new ones. suggestions? i'd also be interested in learning how to do this myself.

 

Got mine online...they are awesome - EBC is good too...just compare and see whats best for you. I am running OEM rotors but I dont get any vibration or anything like that . that could be warpage there...nothing a good turning cant fix.. Do you have brembos? I have a digital caliper to check if the rotors are still good. PM me and we can knock it out for VERY reasonable price..and you'll get ur hands dirty and see how easy it is.. I did Lukes in about 45 mins (thats cause O'Reilly gave him the wrong pads)

 

good job Jake... glad to hear of forum members helping others...

and pretty much all O'Reilly auto parts will turn rotors for free...

 

Anytime guys - I didnt know that about O'Reillys...thats awesome. I called the one down the street from me and it was going to take an hour and half when I did Lukes - - BUT NTB will do it for about 25 bucks iirc.. some places are more expensive.. just depends on where you go.

 

props to Jake for being a great guy and for some good garage time today....he helped me get my new Hawk pads on and i'm lovin 'em. if anyone is ever needing brakes, just hit him up - great guy!

fair warning though...keep your 19's away from him

 

They look so GOOD! and forged...dang..they would so good on my car man...LOL..

Props to your car man...def the cleanest (meaning everything looked new, even under the car) 05 Ive seen..

It was a pleasure...Now I get to drink for free this wkend...
