My recommendations in those threads still stand.

And yes, brakes are easy to replace. The only part of the brake system that I really hate is bleeding brake fluid. Not fun, takes forever, and you need a buddy who will also complain the whole time. Pads and rotors, however, are cake. Get some of that gooey stuff that's supposed to go on the backs of the pads too.
i like the ctek premium pads, and the R1 Concepts (Eline Stock OEQ) rotors. my wallet likes those too. should those be good then?

i helped my girlfriend's dad replace brakes on a ford fusion today, and it was so much easier than i thought. i was able to do it after watching her dad do it once, so i definitely think i'll save some cash by doing it myself.
