Hehe yea i always enjoyed doing my own brakes. When i bought the grand
am in 99 i had the brakes done and rotors turned probably 6 times
under warrenty. The guy even told me they use inferior quality metal
when they make the rotors.

I went out and got high end rotors i think 250 for them and then very
nice front and back brake pads. Then for i think 3 years i only had to
change them 1 time. Which just happened to be the same week i put out
500 bucks for nice new tires. Though 3 days later my car was totalled
and the parts were gone forever LOL.

Memories....misty water colored memories.

ok back to MACHII and calling CFC's from java..woot
