The parts arrived and my friend and I want to change the brakes ourselves. All 4 pads, new front rotors, and machined (to be done by the shop) rear rotors. Thing is, he's only done Honda brakes before, and I've never done brakes period. We both have some experience with cars, but not much. He's done some mechanical and body work, I've done some work on the 350Z, such as replacing my window motors, installing the deck, modding the headlights, wiring LED sidemarkers, etc. So the questions are:

1. Are we gonna be able to do this on our own?
2. Should we expect it to be "extremely hard" or more like "somewhat difficult"?
3. How long will it take?
4. What tools are we gonna need?
5. Are there any guides, manuals, photos, etc we can get to help us?

 

Look in the Technical (DIY) section, there is a write up on it.

 

mm..

well here are my photos of the brake job...(not very comprehensive but you'll see its pretty damn easy ^^

Wait, so the rotors just come off as easy as that?

 

rubber hammer (see picture)
... you will have trouble with rust and road debries making ur rotors stuck more or less...
but slowly hammer it off

 

what kind of rotors are those.

where did you get them and how much


thanks

 

You should do "another" write up on DIY brakes...

Don't forget to measure the rotor runout after installation to make sure you are within oem specs 0.0028"...................hubs may be warped which will rewarp rotors as the try to conform.

EBC Sport...
not my top recommendation ... without prior knowledge I got these b/c a guy was liquidating his stock on ebay and it was CHEAP...
but they work great, just makes this swooshie/whistle noise when you are going around 40-50...
