where do i get them installed pep boys 300$ midas 355$ anywhere cheaper? i am thinking on doing it my self. is there a diy for the rear and how do you bleed the brakes? video mabey?

thanks rory

 

WHAT?????WTF? Do it yourself. It takes not even an hour! Im sure there is a DIY, do a search for it. Do not pay anything like those prices. Go with Hawk HPS which can be bought at Pep Boys for about $50-60 for the fronts, rears should be a little cheaper.

here they will charge hyou $140 per axle and this is a dealership... that is including turning the rotors down... or replacing them...

 

go buy pads at pepboys and ill put them in for a 30 pack

 

There is a sticky thread in this very section of the forum on how to do it-

As for bleeding the brakes, you don't have to do this to change your brake pads, but if you do need to, you can google "how to bleed brakes" and find dozens of tutorials. Same goes for changing your brake pads, if the one on my350z isn't detailed enough for you.

One thing to remember about brake work is that all car and light truck brake systems work almost identically, so after you've done it once, you'll be able to do a brake job on anything you own down the road. I strongly recommend trying it yourself if you have the tools and are mechanically inclined. It's a bit messy, but on a difficulty scale of 1-10 (one being changing your wiper blades and ten being an engine rebuild) I'd rate it a 3.

o what the hell i guess ill do it this weekend. are the rear brake the same as the front? they diy is on the front only. is it that much different on the rear.

 

I don't really remember off the top of my head if there is any difference, but if there is, it's not much. Just take the thing apart, apply common sense, and reassemble

If you want, I can do them for you at my shop too. I'm in Pasadena.

 

If you want Hawk HPS we have them in stock both front and rear for Brembo or 2003-2005 Non-Brembo brakes:

Self install is not that bad but, make sure your rotors are in good shape before just putting a new set of pads on. How many miles and what year do you have? 2006 Non-Brembo calipers are different than 2003-2005.

Thanks,
