update

Decided not to wait too much longer. One of my brakes is really grinding bad.

I was looking around at other car forums just to get some insight on brakemotive and noticed they were giving discounts or selling them cheaper if you mentioned you were a member of a particular forum. I messaged them on ebay asking if they still gave any discounts and they responded very quickly giving me a number to call and order. I ended up getting all four rotors and pads for 143.95 instead of 160.

 

Nice! I have had a set on my car for a while now and can say I like them. Other people have had troubles but I like mine.

 

Good to know. Good luck and definitely post on how you like them.

 

Well so far i just got one wheel done (passenger side front). This was the one causing the most issues and was all I had time for so far. TheMonteMan you were right about stuff being tight. I ended up going and buying a breaker bar because some bolts were so tight I was afraid I was going to strip them if i tried any more with the tools I had.

One question is it necessary to bleed the brakes since I am not disconnecting the brake lines from the calipers. All im doing is removing them from the rotors but hanging them form the shocks by a wire since I read not to let them hang by the brake line.

 

You don't need to bleed the lines. You do have to push the caliper piston back in though. To do that you use a "C" clamp and a small block of wood or just the clamp by itself. Be sure to take the break fluid cap off and put a rag on top of it because fluid will fill up and possibly leak out. If you don't push it back in it will be very hard or impossible to get the caliper back on the rotor.

 

Yep i got that. I already have it all back on. I was just wondering if it was required or recommended to bleed the brakes as a safety precaution or if it was possible to get air or anything in the brakes just from moving the caliper around more than usual.

 

Back in June 2010, I saved the above link and I recently (2 wks ago) made a purchase from there and I have yet to get any tracking info, but the customer service lady said they will ship Friday or Monday??? I will keep my situation updated as to what happens with my order. I'm currently running on warped rotors and pads that a screaming to be replaced for the last 2-3 weeks now. The reason for it to take this long is because I bought new calipers and for an extra $25 they would powder coat them and they said it would take 5-10 business days for this process to be finished! How freaking long does it take to powder coat calipers??? wtf.......

 

They probably send them out to a company they have a deal with, so you are waiting for their work. They should just keep powdercoated in stock, but I guess that's too much upfront money?

 

whatever it is Mike, I'm getting a little nervous the way my rotors and brakes are feeling/sounding! If they ship tomorrow or Monday, I should have them by the end of next week???

 

Hopefully, assuming you don't live far from the place and they use UPS or Fedex
