fsu1dolfan Florida, US Tech Advisor	Okay so heres a link that i as a reference guide....this was the first brake job i have ever done so, i figured why not do it all....This link is an excellent walk through with tons of very detailed pics....i went through a few others DIYs and cut and pasted what wanted to use into word and printed out something like a manual.... http://www.scionlife.com/...p?t=165637&highlight= Here are my pics....for those curious, G2 paint, Custom Made drilled/slotted rotors from a rotor shop in Ca. with black powder coated hubs, EBC Green Stuff brake pads! Raise up! Back to Future shot....car would be sick as a hover craft....gonna have to see if Orin or Acid can do a good chop of this pic back to future style Florida = Thunderstorms = Need a Garage to paint....oh well LOL whatever is takes to keep them from getting wet....i was happy G2 paint dries so quick!!! New vs Old Painted and hanging by a cut up wire hanger! Rotors on Caliper installed, pads placed in, and High Temp decal put on! The only shot i got with the wheels on before i got rain on again!! I'll try to get more later. Overall the process wasn't too bad...other than fighting the damn rain storms while painting! The brakes didn't need to be bled, just a few pumps on the brakes and make sure your brake fluid reservoir is full. Also while compressing the pistons (in the beginning) take the cap off of your brake fluid reservoir and make sure it doesn't over flow....i used an old turkey baster and a beer bottle to put it into...other than that the EBC pads and rotors are biting nicely. I am please with the outcome...Any questions, comments? Need an invite.....sign up and win free money...its a cool game! http://www.moola.com:80/m...d544d744f4467324f54673d-2

Web Maryland, US THE SHADOW	Excellent! EBC FTW! I have my cuts turned forwards as well for more de-glazing from the pads Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.
