besides the typical stuff? Oh, and besides the pads and rotors, what else should i get?

 

Get a ball joint seperator. Definately makes things go faster. Need a big C clamp for compressing the pistons. Got a torque wrench?

A story about why you should always double check:

Did full brake swa/ supension upgrade. Full teg suspenion, new shocks, springs, lines, bushings pads etc. While im finishing up with the prop. valve I have my buddy, who I deem trustworthy as we both work on eachothers cars a alot, go through and torque down everything. My other friend is helping him by calling out the torque required for each bolt. We get done and I drive the car to work. On the way home god awful sounds. We get in to go test it out some more and it keeps dragging backing out of my driveway, but not when I pull forward. Turns out he didnt tighten down one of the bolts that holds on the caliper enough soit had fallen out and now it was pivoting by the remaining botl and dragging on the inside of my wheel.

My advice is use loctite and doublecheckk all your stuff !

 

i had a "friend" i trusted help me put my interior back together. he left my seatbelt and seat loose to the point of it rocking back and forth in only a few weeks. the son of a ***** waited for me to be going to school at night to try to put moves on my girlfriend.

creepy ****.

 

and i mean to ask, do i need shims or goo or something like that? i thought i did?

 

what about tools for doing the rear disc conversion? can someone post that up too?

 

thats a bit of a neat thing, the springs are a ***** to thread up on the back, so there are these little tools and things for doing that with...they have circular faces for pushing the spring retainers on and things like that. i borrowed some a while back, anyone have pictures?

 

use both

i use both on my car since it's a pain to have to undo everything just to do the shim or the goo.

 

can you be more specific? thats what i was looking for actually

 

so when you talk about shims and goo you mean to stop the pads from squeeking right?

shims will make the pad tilt thus one part of the pad will contact the rotor first. that reduces rotor chatter and squeeking. Goo does the samething but by lubricating the back of the pad and where the caliper touch.

some people say to use one of the other but you can actually use both.

I use both when I replace brake pads.

just a way to same time later by using both.

 

what i meant was, what do i ask for when i go into the store?
