Rotors Installation DIY Request.
i was wondering if anyone knew of a DIY for rotors i saw austin's on cardomain but hoping for a lil more details ( i am quite a screw-up). I am either going with Brembo Blanks from Tirerack all 4 for $200 or go with Rotora groupbuy at ( **********,com ) if its still going on ....so now maybe you see my need of doing the replacement by myself and Btw this would be my first time working on the car except for oil, trans and tire change lol
fsttyms1 i think you were intrested in the group buy too did you get your set already or are they still accepting other?

no i never got around to ordering them but the rotora's are the ones im gonna order.
front brakes you should be able to do in about an hour (first timers) you dont need a impact wrench. just a good set of sockets and a 1/2 & 3/8 socket wrench, a big c clamp and a impact screw driver (it will make your life alot easer trying to get the 2 screws on each rotor off)

If u have a compressor, that will save time (with the four bolts on the calipers and the two screws). Make sure you don't tear the screws (I did, but I successfully extracted them). If you do, you can find them in Home Depot.
Although last week I went back to stock for the winter, and it took me longer with the compressor because I was looking for the right sockets, etc. But fsttyms1 basically summed it up.

or a screw driver for a 3/8 socket wrench, wou can apply alot of force on it to help keep it from stripping the screw head out
