Question Good place to have brakes changed???

Hey guys...wow its really quiet in this thread lately...anyways I need to find a decent place/person to change my brakes. I'm gonna be ordering a set of Hawk HPS's and just need to find a shop/person who can do the swap (I'd attempt it, but I don't have a garage, much less the tools). any suggestions? thanks in advance...

use the 300+ dollars they are going to charge you and buy some tools.

$300? that sounds pretty steep, how many hrs is it supposed to take? if it really is that much just for the labor of changing the pads then I really will try to do it myself...

It's not that expensive. At Fantastik Auto, I had my NISMO suspension/Sways installed for ~ $350 back in 2003. That took a helluva longer than brake pads! So, you can do it for cheaper than $300.

yeah I figured...I got my teins installed for $100. and I'm getting my front and rear bumpers resurfaced and repainted for $500. I guess I'll check with some of my friends...what I don't want to do is attempt it myself with one of my friends and end up messing it up and having to tow it to a shop to do it correctly.
