hey guys, i was wondering if anyone of you could help me w/ installing rotors and brake pads for front and rears...

i know there is a thread on DIY... but its my 1st time and dont wanna mess up something important like brakes...

if not, any good place that would install them not costing whole lot? i asked Z car garage and quoted $250 just installing them... and $150 from Car lab (where all my bmw, benz friends go to)...

please let me know!
im in 650 area (Palo Alto)

 

damn young....always looking for a free install

it's a pretty easy install. but i think if you want peace of mind, take it to car lab. $150 doesn't sound too bad. it's about a 1.5 hr job, so $100 an hour...damn, i need to get into the car business

 

haha whats up vinh! hows your car? i miss the old norcal members... i heard David moved to Sac?

no, not free... ill pay for the pizza n the drinks.. haha!

yeah, ive called most of the shops around... i think car lab was the cheapest and they do awsome jobs on the cars...

 

wsup young.. i'm heading over to darren's place on sunday 23rd and doing my fluid changes (oil, tranny, brake) so you're welcome to come.. we won't do the work for you but we'll help you with it.. =p.. hmm.. maybe i should run that by darren first but i'm sure it'll be ok.. he's always down for some free pizza and drinks.. hehe

btw.. which rotors you get?

 

young, i am also looking for some drill rotor, too. Where did you get those? how much? Do i need to buy other stuff than the rotor?

 

Sagi - hey, thanks for the offer, but i might just get it over with it within few days...

Ken - hey whats up man? i see that you are still trying to sell ur trunk mat everywhere haha! i got new Brake Pros (stillen) front and rear rotors in gold color + the pads for $300... it was a steal... this guy was trying to get rid of them because he sold the G before installing them... he got it from here: http://infinitipa.zoovy.com/product/BRAKEKIT paid $715 + shipping...

i dont think you need anything else to change the brakes...

ken if you have any questions, let me know...

the things i got:


front rotor:


i might just get started tonight... ill let you guys know how it went!
thanks!

 

hey....
if you need help w/ install
i charge 100 bucks.
let me know...

 

man...those look nice!!!! but they are expensive though. Almost cost $1k brand new + install.

someone really needs to buy my floormat and trunkmat before they get more famous. I am selling them hella cheap already, and people are still like...haha.

 

hey guys... i did the rears tonight... yeah it was pretty easy... cept, old stock rotor was rusted on so hard, i had to beat it to the death w/ the rubber mallet... also the torque member bolt was on pretty tight... the fronts were impossible to loosen... which stopped me from finishing the fronts... ill just have a shop do them...

finished rear:


thanks for the replys guys!
