Default New Rotors / Brake Pads

I've purchased 4 new StopTech rotors w/ EBC Redstuff brake pads, and I was curious if anyone knew a good shop to take my S to for installation.



Thanks!

Jack and jack stands in your yard. The most difficult part is getting the set screws out. I gave up on them.

use a impact driver on the screws. should come off. easier said than done, right. or else use penetrating oil on the screw and let it sit awhile.

I was under the impression you had to do something with the bearing, I guess not?

Josh might be willing to help you as well, since he has off from school now. When were you wanting to get it done?

Can you please let us know how those pads work out for you? I had a set of EBC Green Stuff pads back in the day with my Camaro, and they glazed almost immediately. They were known for having a huge problem with that. Apparently now they have some kind of quick bedding compound on the very top layer of the pad to prevent that -- I was just wondering how it works out.

Yeah Zbre, no problem.

Blue, I can get them done at anytime, the only thing is I wanted to paint my calipers while they're off. =\
