When I did mine I put the car on 4 jack stands, took all the wheels off, did the install, then bled them...

If you mean how to put it on jack stands, I lifted one front side, put a stand there, lifted the other front side, so that both front are in the air, then I lifted the rear by the pumpkin and put 2 more under the rear...

I hate to sound mean, but I would think that one who is mechanically inclined enough to tackle a job of this magnitude should already be knowledgable on how to get their car jacked up...

rofl yeah i know.....i´m kind of sensetive when it comes to jacking up cars ....i saw a couple of times what could go wrong ( and no i didn´t jack up the car )

let´s say i just wanted to know if i could jack up the car just like QuicksilverZ33 did just one front side by the other

installed the rears yesterday was "easy" but i mixed up one of the bridges on the caliper so i´ll have to fix this......just a question!?!?! is it really that hard to get caliper bridge in place???? (on the ST45) in the instruction it seem like "yeah just push it in and you´ll e fine"...?????? but we had to pushed pretty badly to get it aligned.oooooh and one big pro to Stop Tech....3 out of 4 banjo bolts where right....and of course one of them had the wrong diameter AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
luky enough i had a couple of blackk anodized laying around (i think i wanted to use them on my race bike but never did).they just fit like a glove lucky me

will install the fronts later today. and ohhh the bleeding is a lot of pain when don´t have a ?bleeding machine?,...had to do it the old school way (i´m little bit consurened about doing so, cause i heard that you could damage your brake master cylinder)

but other then that i´m doing fine....rears look kind a overdone without the fronts
