Sup Fellas,
May someone guide me or give me there 2 cents about a good shop regards to rear brake replacement I'm overdue and I def need this to get done. Queens or Long Island would highly be prefer but willing to travel. I've search but nothing. I bought the rear brake pads all I need is someone to mount them. Thanks!

If you go spend about 50 bucks in tools you can do it yourself, you should replace the rotors too...

Is it difficult? I seen videos it looks simple maybe 30 min tops but I just wouldn't want to risk that. Yeah rotors are in the works this is just temporary.

new rotors mean new pads. if you change these pads and use on old rotors, its a waste

Can you please elaborate on this, im curious as to why you think you need new rotors when replacing pads.....this wasnt always the case on my older cars.

you already had it backwards. i said new rotors need new pads. OP said its a temp and would change rotors after pads

You need new rotors when you put new pads on. Rotors way back when were much thicker and stronger. They are now made with cheaper alloys and much thinner. Rotors get grooves, hot spot and warp very easily. While putting new pads on old rotors isnt a safety issue the new pads will squeal, make other noises and give brake pulsations. Not very good when most people tune the cars for more power and do high speed runs.

Send me a PM pls more info.

E92TTCoupe · 06-11-2013, 03:02 PM

Rotors are in progress but which direction to go in? Stop tech? Drilled? Slotted? Both? Any recommendations?

f30er · 06-11-2013, 06:12 PM

fyi...i tried doing it myself last year....couldn't for the life of me get the bolts on the rotors off with hand tools....i'm fairly handy and have done a ton of brake jobs in the past with air tools but those f'in bolts were impossible....wound up taking it to a local brake shop, handing them the rotors and pads and $100.

Damn what a pain in the ass. Good thing I didn't do so. Got them done tho

Try to do it yourself it's not a big deal even with basic tools.
