Kay, well the front end of my car seems to wobble or vibrate a bit at high speeds, figure its the tires, but i haven't replaced those yet. Anyway, I had sears do a free inspection and this is what they came up with:

  • Rear struts going bad (riight)
  • Car wobbles because front rotors are warped
  • Ebrake don't work because i need new shoes and drums turned
  • cracked/chipped (something like that) brake lines...riiight



So, What i'll end up doing, is paying a shop to do the back brakes, as that's a pain in the ass, but do the front myself..however I want ceramic brake pads, because i don't like brake dust(???) going onto my rims, i know my rims suck, but I hate it.


Would this be a good purchase?

Sears said they'd fix it all for $547, **** that.

Anyway, i think they make **** up most of the time, back to my point, would that ebay link be a good purchase for my front end? (Once again, i'm going to have tuffy do my rear brakes)

I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole. Have a honda prelude now :(

i would personally go for brembo's just because it's a brand i can trust that will perform well (and costs about the same). and ceramic brakes still create brake dust, difference is it creates less dust than traditional brake pads.
