Yep. Now I just need rears to match and braided steel brake lines.
Also got a set of Quinn component speakers and 6x9's as well. Waiting for it to be above freezing or not snowing to put them in.

Checked my windshield yesterday and the crack I had doubled in length somehow.

I almost bought the same front pads and rotors for xmas! Only reason I didn't is because the car isn't running properly. Once I figure that out then I'll order them....

I guess it's the season for brake jobs!

[Gamesy]

FAT!!! I GOT FAT FOR CHRISTMAS!

also
Xbox kinect with for a horizon
and a car care kit

[bishop]

haha, i didnt get fat because i couldnt keep anything in XD

i got two armor all car care kits but from what i hear they may not actually be that good for the car.

I've heard excessive use does it. over time its dries out the material causing it to crack prematurely

Heh, mine isn't either, but I've been driving on horribly warped rotors for a couple of months now! (I think the wheel shake from it is opening my seals in my steering rack every time I brake, causing ATF to leak onto my exhaust which makes a nice smoke effect. )

I'm having the same weird problem you were having, except now mine's misfiring even during acceleration and stops misfiring after the car is off for at least 5 minutes after fully warming up.
Replacement TPS from Nate on the way, and once I get my phenolic spacers from Bobby I'll be replacing all the vacuum mess under the manifold as well.

ANYHOW: I'll let you know how the brakes are once I install them, as well as if I find a fix to lower our pesky high idle.

Definitely keep me posted on both situations!
