Need help with replacing brake pads and rotors
For my wife's RSX, please? Just need the front done only, though.
If anyone can help me do this, I get ya a six pack!
I always bring the car to a friend of mine in Kansas, whom owns a shop, to get it done so...haha

Just do it your self. Here is a quick write up.
Jack car and secure safely.
Remove wheel.
Remove caliper (usually 2 bolts)
Replace rotor
Push caliper piston(s) back in and replace pads. Grease everything with brake parts lube.
Put everything together.....
Break in pads and rotor.,,and done.
