replacing barakes?

Ive got a 99 2.3 CL and my rear rotors are getting a little warped.

I did a search and it seems that most people go with the slotted type rotor. I would probably just replace everything at once (Front, Back and pads).

How hard is this to accomplish by yourself and what type of problems would I run into?

Thanks

it's loads easier on the 98-99's than it is on the 97's because of the 97's hub over rotor (I think) On the front brakes.

You can buy the rotors/pads/lines from excelerate (he has a rotora group buy going on in the black market.)

I also think someone did a DIY on the brakes.. not sure though.

Good luck,
-Alex

I never changed the brakes on my acura, but my brother had a z28/ss, and I changed the brakes on that. Was pretty simple except for the fact that I stripped one of the bolts( i think on the caliper ) so the car was on the jack for a couple day, until I bought a new set of bolts....

Other than that changing the brakes(rotors, and pads) were pretty easy...
but like said earlier, get a friend to help..

good luck
