brakes were easy install until i broke two bolts above the heat shield that needed to be drilled out.

This is the season opener for me. Too bad the rear brake looks bigger than the front kindasad.gif time for new front brakes!

Can you verify this once you are done with the swap. As that will be 1 less item I need to take off the car.

yes, as stated. Stay away from Drilled rotors.

Stick to slotted and thats it.


BTW, how much did the rear conversion run you. Looking at doing that in April.



~$150 for the rear assemblies.
~$45 brembo blank rotors
~$45 toyota pads
~$12 new rotor plugs and o-rings



Awesome, I estimated about $300 or so said and done.
