yea, so what you could do is raise the car with the hydro jack (at the side skirt jack point) and put a jack stand under one of those frame rails so that if in case the hydro jack fails you would have the jack stand to catch the vehicle before it lands on the rotor.

yea, ive heard stories of scissor jacks failing...but that was more because the user placed it under a weak part of the vehicle and it just "slipped" out.

either way, i wouldnt trust those things either

in the end, better safe than sorry - plenty of vehicles fall on plenty of people every year

 

I think only premium package comes with the full spare. I have oem jack, hdryo jack and two jack stands but not sure how to utilize them.

 

hehehe sears was having a sale. I found 2 jack stands and a hydro jack combo 35 bucks. the box was damaged, so I asked them to reduce the price. i got it for 28 bucks

 

I think that's the one I got too. Like $25 bucks or something. 2 1/4 ton jack or something like that.

 

yeaup. they aint the best looking jacks in the world, but it sure was a good value.

 

I opened up the Hawks HPS today and saw 2 pads with wear indicator and 2 pads without. Do you guys put the wear indicator on the outside or the inside? A quick search on the forum had both response (some put outside or inside).

 

When you remove the old pads, compare the old pads to the new and install the new pads in the same place. The pads will only fit one way. The indicators still on the outside of the rotor.

 

Hmmm.....according to this thread below, the oem pads have wear indicator on ALL 4 pads in the front.

Hawks HPS only comes with 2 wear indicator pads.
