just put on new front rotors and pads yesterday, ( if i knew someone with a machine to cut rotors i would due my brakes all the time) they look so clean and nice. why cant they stay like that, now i got 2 shiney ones and 2 rusty ones. no more shakin in the wheel though. time to put my 2 front rims back on.

 

How easy was it to do?

 

i dont know if the 2.2/2.3 brakes are diff. but i finished in 30 minutes including jaking up the car and want not. i dont see why shops /dealers charge so much. i can see cutting the rotors will take extra time but acura wanted to charge me 172 to do what i just did in 30 minutes. i paid 200 for the rotors and pads and did not want to spend any more. all you need, tools wise if you are putting on brand new pads and rotors are:

jack
rachet (turny clicky thing) or wrench
c clamp to compress the piston
phillips screw driver
brake parts cleaner or any other cleaner

it was easy, but i used to do all of my repairs on past cars so i have some knowledge in these things. but i think anybody could do this.

 

What kind of rotors did you get & where'd you get them?

 

nothing special, just acura ones, my friend works at a transmission shop and he gets shit for cheap, got em for 80 a piece, pads for 41.

 

Yes, brakes are easy as shit to do... I bought some Cross Drill Rotors for $135 & Brake Pads from Acura (dont use after market pads) wholesale for $45 & it took me about an hour & a half to do the whole car.... Now I just gotta paint those ugly calipers... anyone seen that stencil kit for them??? It is a small stencil of A C U R A so that once you paint it what ever color.... you can paint a different color with the stencil.. i am doing it as soon as I get the time.. I will post pics when complete.... peace out.
