I totally agree with drum brakes. Those are a total bitch if you don't know what you're doing. Luckly, they last a good bit longer than discs (shit, mine have 144k and are still good :eek3: )
I just changed my rotors/pads last weekend. I got this brand called Wearever or something like that from Advanced Auto, $60 for everything.
the drivers side was a breeze, took me and a helper about 20min, but the other side we ran into a problem with the 2 philips screws holding the rotor being stripped. $2 for screws from honda, and we just drilled the old ones out. that side took about an hour. While I was at it, I rotated the tires. Not bad....
saved $100 for labor
