$270 in brakes

[FireFighter]

Well it turns out that I need to cut my rotors, replace the pads, and clean them and for the rear, clean readjust and cut the drum. This sucks for all this i cound have gotten my powerslots or something that i wanted but my dad wouldn't let me.

honestly, I am not ragging on you BUT LEARN TO DO YOUR OWN BRAKES!

I used to always get them done, I was worried about messing them up and having no brakes.


But its Idiot proof, with a haynes manual. I mean for abotu $160, I got all 4 NEW rotors and hawk performance friction pads, and did all 4 brakes, and painted the calipers in 2 hours. That was the first itme I ever did the fronts.

if I wanted to do the same job that a shop woudl have done, I could have done it for $60-70 all 4 rotors, turned and generic brake pads.

Uhhh.... what's the problem then? :rolleyes: No need to waste your money on someone else doing it when you can do it yourself. (at a friend's house, maybe?)
