Yea i am gearing up for when it gets warmer. TOTAL brake rebuild. Centric premium rotors all around, black magics in the front, EBC green in the rear, and a total clean & rebuild of the e-brake with new shoes.f9k9 said:Working on the brakes are ya? Get signed up on the advance online deal email list. Awesome deals but, they didn't have the multifunction "left hand switch" that I needed for my fog lamps so, I got mine from Autozone for $50 and change. Partsjockey turned me on to the site and it beats his discount. I think I replaced my radiator for $140 last month.

wheel is rotated.
