Rotora and Goodridge and Tein....oh my (pics)





Satisfied?



Well Christmas came a little late (my UPS guy is hating me right now)

Daddy's got a lot of work ahead of him, hopefully with a little help from Brett, mclarenf3387 you listening?

My rear brakes are starting to squeal a little and I think my rear shocks are toast so now is the time, although I wish snow season were over with all the salt the NJDOT throws down.

Excuse while I go crawl into a corner in cry for a little.



I actually forget that I haven't installed my SS brake lines yet

Did I ever mention I want to kill the guy who designed our sway bar links. He has made suspension work a living hell.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to pick a nice warm day for you.

I'm gonna tackle the rotors/pads/lines but mclaren is gonna help me install the Teins.

You read it didn't you?

If I can wait till salt, um snow season is over I will. My rear brakes are going quick but since I'm chucking the rotors and pads anyway, I may wait a little longer.

all you need is a hex tool(found in the trunk) and a open end wrench or one of those open end socket things

I know how to get them off, but most off the time, the hex key strips out before the nut comes off for some reason. The salt just corrodes the nut on. I manage to spin it off a little with the airgun, then right when the nut is almost off, the hex hole strips. Mind you this is after dousing them in rust buster stuff.
