just as title states....

evil is selling front rotors and pads that i might be interested in if im able to do it myself

it seems it should be pretty easy considering they almost had to come off during my springs that i did myself

thanks

Remove Lug Nuts
Remove wheel
Remove 2 Attach bolts for caliper
Pull off Caliper
Pull off Rotor
Remove old pads from Caliper
Using C clamp or equivilant, squeeze caliper to open full position.
Install new pads
Install New Rotor
Align Caliper and Install 2 Attach Bolts
ensure the caliper is properly aligned
Install Wheel
Install Lug Nuts

Repeat Steps for other side.

yeah, we 'thought' we did that when i did the springs.... turns out the guy that helped me do springs had incorrectly aligned my rear brakes and i pretty much lost the use of my e-brake til we could get it into the shop.... i had driven around with like that for almost a thousand miles with it making all sorts of noises until finally i couldnt take it anymore and i got tired of carrying around 2x4's to keep my car from rolling away..... $120 later i finally got an emergency brake back!
