Default Looking for a shop to install BBK

Looking for a shop, near Benicia/Vallejo area to install BBK. I know about ZCar Garage, but really don't want to drive to Suoth Bay. Any help would be appreciated.

If you know how to take off the wheel and how to bleed brakes, it is just two bolts behind the caliper you need to take off I believe.

Two bolts holding the caliper to the caliper bracket, two holding the caliper braket to the spindle, one banjo bolt holding the brake line to caliper, two 10mm bolts holding the brake line to various brakets on the shock and spindle and one 10mm nut holding the brake line to the hard line in the fender well.

wow the supra is just two bolts behind the caliper and that's pretty much just it lol. regardless, it's still a simple install if you know how to use basic hand tools. However, it does take some time so if you got the money and have absolutely no time then yeah z car garage is your best choice.

just remember to be patient and take breaks. Getting the rotors off can be a real pain in the *** if they've never been taken off before. Also, hope you have a dremel with strong blades because they are going to get demolished by the dust shields.

he did my BBK on my 03 toyota.

They're in Milpitas 408-416-0061

good luck
